The United States was a
country founded on religion, but at that time they had several different
key religions around. With freedom came religious freedom, this was
what made us different from all the other countries. We didnt owe
anything to the roman church who was the dominant force in those times.
However, not all, but most individual state laws back then only
recognized the protestant religion. With this only protestant people
could vote and be elected, this was the states way of protecting the
political office out of fear that different nationalities could inter
into public office. Overall I believe that it wasn't based upon the
christian religion but it was filled with all types of christian from
all different sorts of backgrounds, which probably made it hard for the
founding fathers to pick a religion and put it into the constitution.
Also the passage talks about how they were trying to protect the church
by keeping it separate from state, where the term separation of church
and state. So this just shows why it was not founded on christian
beliefs even though the majority of people in America at the time were
christian, so some could argue both sides, I however will argue that it
was filled with christians but the nation itself was not.
In what way did the people react when they found out that every religion was equal in the eyes of our constitution?
How did Madison judgement play a role in how our country would view religion?
Why did the states start executing different types of laws to their individual governments?
