#20 Should America Be a Christian Nation? | Debate


Listen Later

Today we’re going to answer the question—Should the United States of America be a Christian nation?

Recently I did a “Debate Stage” on the Discord Politics server, and this is what we discussed.

After my opening statement, I respond to the seven different debate partners, who raise the following challenges:

• Would a Christian nation violate basic rights?

• Did we really used to be a Christian nation?

• Can Christianity take credit for civilizational advancements and moral teachings?

• Is Sharia law superior to biblical Christianity?

• In a Christian nation, how much force could Christians use?

• Would it be better if the state was seen as supreme?

• Why isn’t atheism a better foundation than Christianity?

• How would we reconcile all the various Christian denominations?

• Does the Bible teach the principles of a constitutional republic?
