What is the deal with Christian Revisionists?

I used to think the left had a lock on trying to rewrite history in their own image. But with the growing trend of Dominionists and Christian Nationalists' interjection into the political sphere [apparently easier to do when somebody allegedly "hostile" to Christianity occupies the White House], the art of stretching the truth has been taken to new heights.

"There is no question that there was divine inspiration behind the writing of the Constitution, which is why the Bible is referenced four times more than any other document in our Constitution" - Jerry Boykin, USA, Ret.

I hate to break it to the good General, but the Bible is not mentioned a single time in the US Constitution. Dr Gregg Frazer, a Christian historian [not to be confused with people like David Barton, who claim to be historians], notes the same:

The fact that some parts of the Declaration and/or Constitution are not in conflict with verses in the Bible does not mean that the Bible was the source. This is especially important when — as in the case of the Declaration and the Constitution — the authors claim other sources, but do not claim the Bible as a source!

In a May 8, 1825 letter to Henry Lee, Jefferson identifies his sources for the Declaration’s principles. He names as sources: Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, and (Algernon) Sidney — he does not mention the Bible. Then again, the terminology in the Declaration is not specifically Christian — or even biblical, with the exception of “Creator.” The term “providence” is never used of God in the Bible, nor are “nature’s God” or “Supreme Judge of the world” ever used in the Bible.

In the hundreds of pages comprising Madison’s notes on the constitutional convention (and those of the others who kept notes), there is no mention of biblical passages/verses in the debates/discussions on the various parts and principles of the Constitution. They mention Rome, Sparta, German confederacies, Montesquieu, and a number of other sources — but no Scripture verses.

In The Federalist Papers, there is no mention of biblical sources for any of the Constitution’s principles, either — one would think they could squeeze them in among the 85 essays if they were, indeed, the sources; especially since the audience was common men who were familiar with, and had respect for, the Bible. The word “God” is used twice — and one of those is a reference to the pagan gods of ancient Greece. “Almighty” is used twice and “providence” three times — but neither is ever used in connection with any constitutional principle or influence. The Bible is not mentioned.

This is no assault on an individuals beliefs in a Judeo-Christian creator....but my continuing fascination of the campaign by many, to rewrite American history and to govern our nation by the tenets of a single religion......far removed from what our Founders envisioned.
