The Recognition That America Was Founded As a Christian Nation

“This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians;

not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.” -Patrick Henry

Patrick Henry was the 1st and 6th governor of Virginia and is more well known for his “Give me liberty, or give me death!” speech and also for having been one of the founding fathers of America. This statement would be impossible to take out of context and interpret as meaning to allow for tolerance of non-Christian and heathen religions. Of the 28 points of The Knights Party platform, the first is that we believe in the recognition that America was founded as a Christian nation. Non-Christians and heathens have long espoused their alleged right to “freedom of religion” in America but this could not be further from the truth, as evidenced by our founding fathers intolerance towards heathen religions. Our founding fathers were all God fearing men who led lives where the Christian faith guided their every action. America was founded by puritans who were escaping the cruel persecution of the Church of England. It was the

desire to be able to worship God without the Kings edicts and doctrines which drove the Mayflower pilgrims to chance the travel to the New World and start a colony. This colony was built with one purpose in mind. This purpose was not to expand the wealth or influence of England and it was not for personal monetary gains. The pilgrims who traveled on the

Mayflower came to the New World in order to make a Christian government to allow Christians to freely practice Christianity. The Mayflower Pilgrims were only interested in building Gods kingdom on Earth and keeping a Christian nation. This is not a wild or sensational claim and can be seen in every original charter, law, compact, and state constitution. Every original state constitution explicitly barred non-Christians from public office or from practicing non-

Christian religions. Consider that the Constitution of Delaware of 1776 required an oath for public office which read as follows, “I, … , do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New testament to be given by divine inspiration.” More compelling yet is Constitution of South Carolina of 1778 which states, “The Christian Protestant religion shall be deemed, and is hereby constituted and declared to be, the established religion of this state.” More recently a philosophy has developed which has confused many into thinking that “freedom to worship” is a license to practice without limitation or in consideration of others any and all forms of non-Christian religion. At no time was it in the minds of the Mayflower pilgrims to tolerate the practice of a variety of religions such as Hinduism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. What can not be argued is that the constitutional laws of the original

state constitutions bar non-Christian practices and people, and this fact was explicitly written so there would be no confusion. Christianity is exclusive by nature and Christian lands are for Christians to practice Christianity. The pilgrims strong faith in Christianity did not allow for pagan or other idolatrous religions, which were contrary to Christianity, to be practiced. It was this idea which started the greatest nation in the world. The Knights Party believes in the the freedom of religion just as the Mayflower pilgrims believed. There is only one religion for America, and it is Christianity. As James Madison, known as the "Chief Architect of the Constitution" stated; " We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves to control ourselves to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
