The American Paradigm - Under God Chapter 6

America stands out as a rare exception among history's tyrannies and empires — but why? In this chapter from Under God, Kevin Swanson examines the Christian heritage behind America's founding documents, laws, and Bill of Rights, and traces how Enlightenment humanism gradually displaced the nation's covenantal foundations. He walks through the founders' own words — Madison, Henry, Franklin, and Washington — to show just how far that first covenant has drifted.
