Has anyone ever read the book, The Search For Christian America, by Mark Noll, Nathan Hatch, and George Marsden? I started to read last week. The authors argue that American society as a whole has never reflected the ideals of Scripture and that the idea of a Christian nation is an ambiguous concept that is usually harmful to effective Christian action in society. Moreover, they also believe that it is historically inaccurate to regard the founding of America and the formulation of this nation's founding documents as being Christian in origin. However, they do believe that Christianity has been influential in America and that many Christians have done many Christian deeds.
Just in case you don't know, the authors of the book are evangelical Christians.

Sorry, a little sarcastic this morning. Hopefully it'll wear off.
