Hynes is Right

By on 2.8.07 @ 12:43PM

It doesn't make any sense to have controversy over Patrick Hynes saying America is a Christian nation. That same sentiment is a commonplace among academics discussing America's religious past and present. Does that mean there is an established Christianity? No. Does it mean anyone else is unwelcome? No. The only way you can really take offense at Hynes' statement is to read far more into than is really there.
