“Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates” by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger documents the atrocities conducted against Europeans by the Islamic world during Jefferson’s presidency, which led to the building of ships to create a U.S. navy.
Christopher Hitchens was a beacon of common sense and rationality. How dearly he is missed. He would absolutely destroy Repugnant Don at every occasion.
They were Deists in general, not Christians per se. Only Adams was a practicing Christian - some went to Church because they believed that a God-centred unity was essential for a civilisation to thrive. Please read their own words about religion.
Just because they didn’t want a nation based on religion the way Britain, France etc. had developed, does not mean that the minds of the men who formed the United States were not based in a religious upbringing plus enlightenment thinking. And that religion must have been Christianity, no?
Nope. First used on currency during the Civil War (1864). Not made the official motto of the US until 1956. Added to paper currency in 1957. Founding Fathers specifically did NOT have this as a central motto or theme but they very much recognized that church and state must be separate if the nation were to survive, since they were escaping state religious persecution in England. But feel free to rewrite history to suit your agenda - it's what you folks do with bible anyway.
They specifically prohibited the state from endorsing a state religion, and yet you claim that the US is a "Christian Nation". You are free to practice your religion. You are free to believe that most Americans identify as Christian. You're free to believe that people who never go to church and routinely violate multiple commandments still qualify as "Christian" because they say they are. But when you declare the US a 'Christian Nation", you are historically inaccurate and in direct opposition to the founders. You also appear to have an agenda of forcing your narrow religious beliefs on others.
True lies

Some things never change.

What a great man.
Show some more So we get an idea what the fuck he’s talking about. Thank you.
In this clip he appears to be referencing the Barbary Slaves.
I wish he was still here.
So do I. I would love to have seen him let loose over the last 5 years!
Thank you for sharing

Historically accurate except for one point! The United States of America is a Christian country.....read the coin "In God We Trust!"

Wrong. The founders never wrote that there is a separation between church or state. They stated...."There shall be no law....." Do your homework.
They specifically prohibited the state from endorsing a state religion, and yet you claim that the US is a "Christian Nation". You are free to practice your religion.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me!" That one!
