When our Founding Fathers envisioned a new republic for the United States (not a democracy, incidentally), they built it upon two foundational principles:
- that government must have a moral foundation
- that government must be constitutionally limited
In this short segment, I use the 1892 Supreme Court ruling in The Church of the Holy Trinity v. US to illustrate that our country has a rich religious heritage and that the sense of Christian morality formed the underpinnings of our government at that time.
The Holy Trinity ruling sets the stage for the next segment in this series where I answer the question:
Were our Founders theists, diests, atheistics, … or Christians with a decidedly Biblical worldview?
So stay tuned…
