The Declaration of Independence, Faith, and Reason
About this episode
David and Adam discuss the Declaration of Independence through the lens of a Word on Fire article (https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/faith-reason-and-the-declaration-of-independence/), exploring whether America's founding was Christian or Enlightenment-based. They conclude that while the Founding Fathers were split between Christians and deists, the nation's moral fabric was fundamentally infused with a Christian ethos, enabling language about Creator-endowed rights.
