The question of what is a true Christian nation

By Joe Guthrie, Member Lewiston Baptist Church, Kentwood, La.

There seems to a great deal of political grandstanding of late regarding the establishment of the United States as a Christian nation.  Both sides of the argument seem to have neglected the true purpose of “freedom of religion,” and how it truly benefits believers.

It was not that the United States was formed as a Christian nation, but rather a nation established by Christian men.  Once again, rhetoric and emotion push aside and try to hide history and the beliefs of our founding fathers.
