I know America was built on freedom, but please your brain to further understand the question. Thank you! 🤪💜
Do you really think the foundation of America is God 🇺🇸?

It is for me, and always will be. Yes, I believe the "founding fathers" were influenced by God when creating this nation and deciding how it would be governed. There will always be some people butthurt because those men were not perfect. They never claimed to be, and there's only been one perfect person to walk this earth.
But they did come together to create a nation that was capable of learning and growing as time went on. One that understood that everyone should be free to live their own lives and make their own decisions on how to raise their families. They understood the evils that would happen if a government had too much power over the people, and even how to divide the government so that no one part of it would have too much power.
I don't wanna write an essay here, but I'll just say I don't believe that humans could have come up with the ideas that they did without the influence of God. We're not that smart on our own, and we continue to prove that daily.
You can actually see evil as more people push God out of their lives and start living based on what "man" says. The best example is this: God saying "love one another", while "man" says only love people who look or think like you do.
And yes, while in the beginning, people didn't fully understand that part, the way they founded this nation, let the knowledge that "all men are created equal" eventually come to light for all of us.
If you take a quick look around the world, you'll see that many nations still are missing that.
German Wehrmacht and SS wore belts with engraving "Gott mit uns" [God (is) with us] while Nazi Germany time. We all know, god was never drive of Nazis but greed for resources and workforce. I think we can draw parallels here and there to foundation of America without any doubt.

No country will ever be holy enough to claim God as their only leader but the statement about God is done to increase the degree of religious sentiment in the country.
@Snsl153 Name a country that wasn't! Also we were the first nation to ban slavery everywhere they had control over. The British Empire banned it in the home land but not it colonies.
Wow, this is one hell of a question. And you know what as much as I would like to put an answer for it I don't think it would fully answer anything due to the gravity of this question. The foundation I'm doubtful of that even with all that we have written into our constitution on our currency impossible belief systems because in all honesty if that were the case the vast religions that we have would be zero we'd be a monotheistic country but yeah I I can't even ask this question in full capacity, honestly.
Yes, we are a country founded by religious extremists who were kicked out of their country for having beliefs that could not be tolerated in Europe. They rebelled as a colony, succeeded, and made a government with the first most important thing being freedom of religion, speech, assembly. Then sweet sweet firearms.
Whether you believe in god or not is irrelevant, if you're an American, it is the foundation of this nation.
North Americans are a bunch of ignorant morons. (Fyi, I’m N American). You can’t say “in God we trust” while having freedom of religion. It becomes meaningless - basically just something to claim because it sounds good. People don’t trust God. They trust in the American Dream - misguided as it is.
A judeo-christian worldview enables US culture and laws as we know it. It's definitely not a perfect system and has been almost thoroughly corrupted, but the founding fathers had a worthy cause and did a decent job for setting up a nation for success.
When greed becomes the driving force for leaders, what follows is a debasement of currency as well as morality, then that nation goes into decline. Much like Rome. Fear and trust of God helps prevent a slide towards corruption.
No, the founding fathers where not particularly religious for their time, and many outright rejected the christian world view. America was founded on the ideals of the enlightenment, which explicitly opposed the church doctrine of the time, and introduced ideas of secular government to the world.
Might be of it's populace but the founding fathers were largely deitists who only believed in a natural order, not an omnipresent God. So it isn't accurate to call it a Christian nation per se but in practice the majority of the country's population are and have been for some time.

no i think the foundation of america is "the people". the freedoms afforded to people have been fought for by people against religion. not by religion. sure there are some values that somewhat still overlap with judeo-christian values. but lots of them are not. you're not free to have slaves anymore. that's certainly not a judeo-christian development, cause those are explicitly allowing slavery.

Yeah. It is built on ancient Kemet and the principles of the Bible and such. Why do you think it looks like Kemet in dc? Why do you think the symbols are the same etc etc. Why do you think America is David and beat Goliath England. It is also built on a lot of fucked up stuff too likely slavery. Black people did a lot for this country. Sacrifice countless lives and culture by force...
No, I think the foundation of America is the people who built this country into what it is. Yeah, a lot of them believed in God and was a part of their culture, but just as this country has grown from that so have the people and the culture.
A big part of that is the importance of acknowledging higher authorities than the king without facing punishment for it; there's a reason that authoritarians always begin their pirfes with religious people.
They changed it to that in the 50's to distinguish themselves from the Russians. I prefer Ben Franklin's preference for the motto on our money: "Mind your business."
They say we're not supposed to question God so who knows, Why are babies/adults dying from hunger, It's hit America with a shortage of formula for babies so sad?
I think the founding fathers were deists not Christians for the most part. I do not think in truth America is founded under God, though I believe we should be. Salve Iesus Rex!
I think it was at first, but humans are too stupid to keep it that way. The American Way is no longer what it was meant to be, and will soon cease to exist.

The foundation of America and its morality was laid out in our Founding Documents. Our morality was that of a Godly Christian nation. Unfortunately, we are no longer anywhere near where we started.
no, it never was, in god we trust, and under god in the pledge, were added in the 1950s, under mccartheyism. our founding fathers were mostly agnostic or atheist, our country is based on basic human rights
Our constitution includes God and our money says in God we trust. People go there own way or say sail there own ship i say some times. That's what people do
America isn't even real. It's just a word. A sound muttered by humans. Just ask the animals what country they live in. They will tell you. NONE OF IT IS REAL! 🐿🐻🦃🦘🦡
No. If I’m not wrong, that motto was added in the 50’s. The original motto was a latin phrase that was something like ‘one out of the many’, referring to the US comprised of 13 colonies.
I do not know actually , but I believe in God , as well.

The constitution was definitely influenced by religious leaders. That’s not a question. It’s one of the reasons America is the most free countries in the world. However we have deviated a lot.
@SixFootSexy Yet, I DO exist! You're talking to me! You can watch videos of me, listen to records I've made and watch movies I've been involved it! Where is god, again? Nowhere to be found!! People starve, god doesn't do shit to help! People are about to die and pray for help, it never comes! People get diseases, god doesn't do shit to help! why did god even create those diseases? Someone's in a bad situation and needs help, where is god? Beating off behind a cloud somewhere? How many times will you trust a human to help you only to be let down every single time before you decide you can't rely on them, anymore? Yet, god gets a pass every time! I stopped believing in imaginary friends a VERY LONG time ago! Mostly, what happened was that I grew up! Mommy and daddy says so, so that MAKES it so! Religious nut mentality.
Have you read Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche?
The biggest problem is that if there is no God, all of the evil that exists in the world can't be classified as evil in the first place. All good cannot be classified either, since there is no objective standard to compare with. There is only matter, accidental carbon beings to be eaten by worms, nihilism and eventual universal heat death. That's why I refuse to be an atheist, angry at something or someone I don't believe exists.
