Summary
<p>Recently on an episode of <em>The Timcast with Tim Pool</em>, Tim was debating with his guests about whether America was created as a Christian nation. John Adams’ 1798 letter to a Massachusetts regiment was offered as evidence that it was, as Adams wrote “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” But what does “religious” mean in this context? What did the founders mean when they allowed for the free exercise of religion? If they meant “Christian,” why didn’t they say the name of Christ in their documents? On this week’s episode of <em>The Mosaic Ark,</em> Professor Rachel Fulton Brown shares some ideas about that.. Listen in and let her know your ideas in the comments! —Streamed November 29, 2024</p>
