America’s Status as a ‘Christian Nation’
December 18, 2024
Overview
In recent years, America’s status as a “Christian nation” has become an incredibly vexed question. This is not simply a debate about America’s present, or even its future—it has become a debate about its past. Some want to rewrite America’s history as having always been highly secular in order to ensure a similar future; others seek to reframe the American founding as a continuation of medieval Christendom in the hopes of reviving America’s religious identity today.In his book “Religion & Republic: Christian America from the Founding to the Civil War,” Miles Smith offers a fresh historical reading of America’s status as a Christian nation in the Early Republic era. On today’s episode, Eric Kohn, former Acton director of marketing and communications, talks to Miles about his book.Subscribe to our podcastsMiles Smith | Hillsdale CollegeReligion & Republic | Miles Smith
