Christianity in the West

A closer look into the deep ties of Christianity and American Culture and Western Civilization.

“Our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams

It is imperative to know the history, as those who don’t know the history are destined to repeat it. America, unlike most other countries, was founded on Christian Values. America is the only country with “under God” in it’s pledge. It was stated by John Adams and other Founders like him, all believed that this country would only work if the people in it were moral people, and I believe we are witnessing today what the founders were afraid of. In this Article we will go through the Founding, Separation of Church and State, and today’s fundamental misunderstanding of freedom, why everything seems so crazy today, and how to fix it.

Starting at the Founding, It is underestimated how much religion mattered to the founders. America is unique in the fact that our Bill of Rights was created with God in mind. What separates America from the UK is that our founders believed that our rights come from our Creator, not granted to the people by the government. Largely because they had just fought off a tyrannical government. Though they never made Christianity a national religion, they knew its importance. President George Washington said in his Farewell statement,

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens.”

In an Essay written by Jason Glas, entitled “The Gospel, Human Flourishing, and the Foundation of Social Order” he narrowed Judeo Christian values into 4 Essential Truths. Firstly, Humans have inherent value because we are created in God’s Image. In Genesis, it is clearly stated that God created us for a purpose, to have a relationship with him, to grow and glorify Him in all things. Secondly, Glas says that Although we are created in God’s image we are sinful. Through this we know that socialistic and utopian ideologies are nothing more than fiction because they deny man’s flawed nature. Next Glas says that Humans must acknowledge the Reality of both things seen and unseen. What does this mean? Many people reject these truths and Christistandom as a whole, leading to what Glas described as a “consumerist, entertaining, and virtual world with no moral or transcendent vision”. Finally, the Truth that Marriage and Family are the Foundation of a Free Society. As the literal basis of our country, it is imperative to emphasize the importance of the nuclear family. The founders knew and believed these truths, and it shows in the legislation and our founding documents. However, they wanted a free society, but the only way to ensure that was through the separation of Church and State.

The Founders believed we need two separate and independent institutions, the State and the Church. I believe we needed both, a State to ensure laws are enforced, and the Church to ensure morals and civility among neighbors. Their big lie is that the church was separated from the state for freedom’s sake, but it was the opposite. Government was kept out of the church to keep it pure, and uncorrupted, but unfortunately this didn’t last as Kamala Harris is using churches to push her propaganda. Freedom today is largely misunderstood as well. Freedom for Freedom’s sake is not good, it tells people they can be free to do what they want. The Founders wanted the freedom to do what is right, and to live how we were meant to live. Without a Religious and Moral people, freedom will be abused and used in their own self destruction. The Founders wanted true freedom for a people with the discipline to not become slaves to their carnal desires.

Why does it matter? Christian Western Civilization is the freest and most prosperous civilization in the history of the world, and the future of this great country is at stake. We are living in our founder’s worst nightmare. In 2020, with 60+ genders and the 7 deadly sins being propagated on our TV’s and in media. For the first time ever the rate of active church goers lowered down to 47%, the lowest point in our nation’s history. We are living in the consumerist, entertaining, and virtual world with no moral or transcendent vision that Jason Glas and the Founders warned about. People are living with no purpose, and in contrary to how we were designed. Today, we are facing the highest depression, and suicide rates in our country. As men we need a purpose and our country today, has stripped men and women of all purpose, everything that made both men and women great has been eroded and destroyed, which is what leads to the 60+ genders we have today. As Humans, we are created to worship. We are created to put God First, but when God is removed, we search for that God sized whole. People always have searched for other things, from Government, to even Materialistic things like money and wealth. Most common in America is the worship of self. The idea of Self worship is Satanic, in that a person worship self is rejecting the morals and guidance of the Lord, as Satan did, elevating themselves to a God. This is also why Communists exist, no Communist is Christian, which is why they rationalize that mass genocide is not that bad.

When asked what type of government the founders were creating, Benjamin Franklin quipped, “A republic, if you can keep it,” and we are witnessing the failure of that republic’s preservation. In conclusion, Morals come from God, and those morals are an irreplaceable pillar of our society. Thus when you remove God from society, you lose those pillars. Without morals and fear of God, people will find a way to justify any type of action, no matter how self destructive. America, with all of it’s freedoms and rights, given to us by God, created the BEST living conditions the world has ever seen, but today we are living in that world. How do we save it? It seems obvious now, but I believe most of our problems would disappear overnight if we turn that 47% of church goers into 90% or higher. We need to restore these Christian values to the forefront of the narrative, we must keep our founder's in mind and what this country was designed to be.
