I am not dropping anything. That is not and was not part of the intended argument I have begun to present.
I will restate it this way:
I argue that America was not ‘founded as’ a Christian Nation, but when it was being founded it was indisputably ‘being’ a Christian nation.
I insist this point is true that being in a Christian Nation as described above means Christians are believers in the divinity of a Christ.
But my point as I will develop it further, needs the truth to be told that Jefferson and many of the founding fathers were different thsn the citizenry with regards to their view divinity of Christ.
If you have no interest in hearing me out fine
I will present it so it’s here.
Jefferson was against the established Christian Church and its belief in the divinity of Christ.
I have no reason to believe that Jefferson would be opposed to a majority of citizens freely practicing religion according to the
divinity related traditions of their assembly of churches to publicly and even proudly describing being lived in a Christian Nation in a Christian way.
My point is this: I don’t see a logical or sensible reason that being Christians as a citizenry and believers in a particular religion, they would feel it necessary to claim that they personally were involved in the ‘founding’ of the United States of America. They elected founders to do it. And only the property owning Christians has a real say in that,
The vast majority of Christians were left out of the founding in that sense
It is good that you are dropping the angle of attack the being against having an Established Church in any way means you are against having a Christian Nation.
