Ali Ataie – Lies My History Teacher Taught Me America Was Founded as a Christian Nation

During the colonial period in this country, only

15%

of white people in this country, 15, 15,

identified with a certain church.

The vast, vast majority of them were Deists.

What does Deist mean? A deist in the

spirit of Plato and Aristotle

and the Neo Platonists is someone who believes

in an architect of the universe but that

the creator of the universe, but that this

creator does not have any personal relationship

with His creation.

He doesn't reveal scripture. He doesn't send messiahs.

He doesn't send prophets.

He has no relationship

with his creation. This is deism

And it's really an outgrowth of the 18th

century enlightenment movement as a reaction

against Christianity,

specifically against

Christianity. It's just a fact.

They were anti incarnation.

They were anti Trinitarian.

They were anti vicarious

atonement.

Their theology was based on reason. So I

don't know what these people are talking about

when they say America was founded by a

Christian nation. Here's another fact for you.

None of the first six presidents of the

United States was an Orthodox Christian.

None of the first 6 Presidents United States

was an Orthodox Christian. You look at some

of them. George Washington was a Deist. He

rejected the deity of Christ, he would not

take holy communion.

John Adams was a Unitarian.

He did not believe in the trinity, the

deity of Christ, original sin, or vicarious atonement.

Jefferson was a deist and a Unitarian, anti

trinitarian.

He once wrote a letter to Timothy Pickering

on his cabinet complaining about the,

what did he say? The incomprehensible

jargon of Trinitarian

arithmetic.

As Those are his words.

He was anti Pauline, he said Paul corrupted

Christianity.

He said, And I don't agree with this

statement, I'm just giving you the facts. He

said, Christianity is the most perverted system ever

shown on man. That's his words, not my

words, I don't agree with it. I'm telling

you what Thomas Jefferson said.

Thomas Jefferson who's on the $20 bill. No,

the $2 bill.

Right?

This was his belief about America, about Christianity.

I certainly don't agree with it, but to

those who say this country was founded as

a Christian nation

implying that non Christians in this country are

somewhat less American than Christians is a total

farce.

We shouldn't buy into that.

Thomas Paine,

in 17/76

he wrote Common Sense, which paved the way

for the Declaration of Independence.

He says something similar to Thomas Jefferson, I

don't have time to go into it. The

US constitution

has no reference to God nor Jesus Christ.

The US

Constitution, one of the founding documents of this

country

was

transcribed or written upon the principle of separation

of church and

state. Article 6 section 3, no religious test

shall be required as a qualification

to any office or public trust under the

United States.

So while God nor Jesus Christ, peace be

upon him, are mentioned in the constitution,

religion is mentioned twice. That's one. And then

the first amendment, Congress shall make no law

respecting the establishment

of any type of religion.

Declaration of Independence,

three references to the deity.

An impersonal abstract

deist god, not the Christian god. He's called

Nature's God. He's called

He says, We're endowed by our Creator. He's

called the Supreme Judge of the World.

And finally, the Treaty of Tripoli in 17/97,

you can look up this stuff, you can

check Sheikh Wiki

for the meantime, but don't trust it too

much Sheikh Wikipedia,

right? But be careful about that, but look

this up you know there's good information the

Treaty of Tripoli

in 17/97

this is very interesting signed into law by

President John Adams

in 17/80,

17/97. I'm sorry, 17 97.

June 10, 17 97. This is what it

says in article 11 of the Treaty of

Tripoli,

as the government of the US of America

is not in any sense

founded

on the Christian nation

as it has in itself no character of

enmity against the laws,

religion, or tranquility

of Muslim men. Who are Muslim men? These

are Muslimine.

And as the said states never entered into

any way or act of hostility against the

Mohammedan nation, that's the Muslim Ummah, is declared

by the parties that no pretext

arising from religious opinions

shall ever produce

an interruption of the harmony existing between

the 2 nations.

How far we have fallen from the words

of the founding fathers.
