Religion in Colonial America

Religion in Colonial America was dominated by Christianity although Judaism was practiced in small communities after 1654. Christian denominations included Anglicans, Baptists, Catholics, Congregationalists...

www.worldhistory.org

Let me remind you that your link refers to Christianity in colonial America. I am at arguing the settling of Colonial America that occurred prior to the American Revolution was dominated by the revealed religion of the god of Abraham..

But the United States of America was not founded when the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock or when he first settlement at Jamestown was realized..

I’m just referring to people living around the 1700s

 

[Leo123]

Jenna Ellis, one of Trump’s racist white Christian nationalist (indicted in Az and Ga lawyers) who says every day on her radio show that America is a Christian nation in a Covenant with the famous desert religion’s God of Abraham as explained in the Holy Bible, Tens of millions of Trump’s voters have the same Biblical worldview as Jenna Ellis.

Without white Christian nationalist churchgoers like Jenna Ellis voting for Antichrist Trump, the unchurched Republicans do not get their great white hope Trump elected to anything.

So what? We are to believe as we wish. What’s your problem? Do you just hate Christians?

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Christianity was the most prevalent religion, the belief in God and Jesus is what most people believed.

You cited adults living in the British Colonies during the 1730s whom very well could have believed in revealed Christianity but the best your source can do is “estimate” a number who believed The Cross of Christ Gospel in 1740.

But forty years later we have real data that finds that the population attending Christian churches in 1776 was at 17%.

The United Status of America was not founded in 1737. It was founded on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia based on absolute nothing to do with the Original Sin of Adam of Eve and everything that takes place as recorded in the Holy Bible until the first angel blows his trumpet bringing forth hail and fire mixed with blood to be thrown upon the earth until a third of the earth is burned up, and a third of the trees are burned up, and all green grass is burned up. The Constitution has nothing to do with any of that.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Do you just hate Christians?

No. I vote for Christians all the time. Joe Biden is my favorite Christian right now save he is Catholic.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Do you just hate Christians?

Just racist Christians like Jenna Ellis who helped Trump’s ongoing attempts to destroy Western liberal democracy by lying for Trump as an accessory to the attempt to disenfranchise all the black Christian voters in big cities who voted for Biden in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, and New Mexico

I never said it did, and I’m not taking about delegates or people in government, specifically, I’m talking about people, in general, around that time.

Did most of the people then not believe and worship the Christian God?

There is no 'Church of America' and yes the Founders had Judeo-Christian morals and values......That does not mean they established a State church. You are way off. America is ruled by We The People and if the majority are Christians that is what they believe. There is no prohibition of religious beliefs by The People. In summation: There is no official State Church of America, it doesn't matter if one goes to church or not they still can have beliefs that align with a certain religions. (Jews, Christians, Muslims and even Atheists are not prohibited in their beliefs either). What is your problem?

Well, today those same black Christian voters ARE voting for Trump, You just don't like Ellis because she was part of "the elite strike force team" and objected to the fraudulent 2020 election. She was punished by another Democrat kangaroo court making up allegations of racketeering, etc. You do not seem very informed.

You must know that some of those BLM rioters and Marxist scum Obama Muslim operatives from Reverend Jeremiah Alvesta Wright Jr‘s Black Chicago Atheist Christian Satanic Church are lying to pollsters about supporting Trump based upon their Saul Alinski Deep State training paid for by that billionaire commie Democrap America hatiing mask wearing vaccinated Jew George Soros.

Can a moral law abiding American citizen who has reached the age of accountability to the God of Abraham for all their sins but rejects Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior have Judeo-Christian Values and love the blessing of freedom of religion bestowed upon us by our Founding Fathers, some of whom owned slaves?

White Christian nationalism is not a majority religion. anyway., Christianity is a divided religion having no consensus by any one group as to what does it take to be a true Christian.

Ok, where is the law establishing a State religion? There is no white Christian nationalist party or organization. You’ve made it all up and you talk like a racist.

Can a moral law abiding American citizen who has reached the age of accountability to the God of Abraham for all their sins but rejects Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior have Judeo-Christian Values and love the blessing of freedom of religion bestowed upon us by our Founding Fathers, some of whom owned slaves?

Yes we are free to believe as we wish.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Ok, where is the law establishing a State religion?

I have never said there was a law establishing a state religion. What white Christian nationalists do is elect white Christian nationalist politicians like House Speaker Mike Johnson to pass laws based on Christian Biblical worldview mostly regarding biblical sexual morality.

Laws are established to protect individuals from criminal behavior as a deterrent to criminal behavior that may be harmful to the public when left unpunished; so laws banning the medical procedure of abortion is one such law that is unlawful. When a woman gets an abortion, she commits no harm to the public or any individual in the public in anyway .

Laws banning abortions are intrusions into the privacy of women and have no place in a constitutional republic where religion is not required of its citizens,

Laws banning gay marriage or establishing discrimination in the public square are also unlawful. Most unlawful laws are established where white Christian nationalist politicians can do so.
