“One Nation Under God”, or “In God We Trust”, whether or not you like the words, they are a staple of our American plight, and way of life, if now in reference only.  Our leaders invoke God’s blessing when trying to uplift their constituents, mostly at the end of a speech.  Congressional meetings are opened with a prayer, and I’m sure if you looked and care to be honest there are many remnants of a culture more devoted to their Creator. 

This isn’t a rant about all the unrepentant sinners, or a pointless argument whether or not God exists.  This is a rant about the isolation and eviction of the traces of the God that our country has referred to the last 200 plus years.   It signifies more than a “separation between church and state” it is more of a down right disdain for Him, but this expulsion is limited only to the God of the Bible and apparently not any other god.

For instance there are a number of occurrences in the news media where our schools here in the US are teaching some of the tenets of Islam in classrooms in more than just an educational way.  The belief also being taught in our schools that humans have evolved from animals or, even lower organisms, has not been proven conclusively and the idea is less than 200 years old in its present form.  The humanist aspect of this and other related beliefs are a religion unto themselves, though its proponents will argue the idea.

Again, my point is not to argue the validity of any of the ideas presented in our schools.  My point of contention is, why do we have to vacate our public institutions of any trace of the very God our founders spoke so highly of at the inception of our country?  Our founders never discouraged people from worshiping other ideas, they were adamant however, that the Christian message and teachings be present alongside any other belief.  They were confident that God’s Word, if represented equally and unabashedly, alongside anything other than the Gospel, it would stand on its own merits.  I believe that’s the objection that Christians today have to the shut out of God in our society. 

I believe this to be true because the evidence that the inverse is the case with the opponents of God:  If these people that are atheists, agnostics, skeptics, or even Democrats were confident of their beliefs, why would a belief and the display of it be so offensive to them? The political correctness of today embraces and protects a religion whose extreme believers are openly hateful of the west and more personally the United States.  I dare say our current leaders even promote Islam in many cases.  If us Christians are a bunch of quacks, why not study our beliefs and not be afraid to engage in the honest an open discussion why our founders referred to God over and over throughout our country’s founding?
