The Foundations of American Government This video demonstrates that many of the current concepts related to the “separation of Church and State” were never intended by the Founding Fathers. The program surveys and analyzes the historical records on the drafting of the First Amendment and shows how much the original intent has been perverted. 25 minutes.
Customer Review: Foundations of American Government
I has seen this program on cable (not this video). I watched this series, not because it is done by a Christian organization, but because I am interested in our country and our freedoms. This is a series that contains a lot of religious references so balance that with what you intend for your audience. Even though Mr Barton refers to the Bible for some of his supporting arguments, I think what he argues for is sound for ALL Americans. I prefer to refer to his view as Judeo-Christian philosophy instead of Judeo-Christian religion because what he says is an excllent guide to being a just citizen in a republic such as the USA, which is something for all Americans, not just Christians or Jews. He may not have intended it that way, but this is how I approached it and I found the video intriguing and I think it will help you glean more from it, no matter your religious affiliation. Key questions he asks: Can unjust & immoral people select good leaders? Does scandalous conduct in private affairs mean anything on the public activities of a person? How is the First Amendment being misconstrued to restrict religious freedom instead of ensuring it? I think these are absolutely relevant questions for every American to ask. I think if you watch the videos with my afore mentioned caveats in mind I think you will find this video intriguing as well.
