There are more underlying reasons why Christianity is the leading religion in America, than folks can see or will admit.
Much like cells being the basis of any mortal form;you see the person, not the cells. True Christianity is much the same.
While there has been numerous groups, referring to themselves as Christian, the true Christians have been, and are, both a part of these organizations and apart from them. In other words, Christianity abides in the individual and not necessarily in the organization.
Throughout history, Christianity has been demonized by the masses. If the 'powers that be' cannot destroy it, they join it and try to become its leader. It has been that way since the very beginning of the Christian movement. The problem is, those that desire to destroy it, have no idea what IT is.
Wiping out Christianity has been a futile effort, in that the followers of Christ have become a part of Christ. It's not just a passing fancy but will survive through to the end of time.
I am a prophet of the Lord and through His teachings, I understand why the United States has been and always will be Christian.
Only in recent years, have other countries contained as many different representatives of other countries, as the U.S. By other countries, I'm actually referring to the 'mother lands'. It's possible, I don't really know, that the U.S. still leads in its diversity of people.
The coming together in this nation, as a new nation, was a venture under the direction of the Almighty.
Have you ever wondered how it is, that the same term used to describe this nation in the beginning, is still used today? That term is 'New World'. It is the new world and always will be because historically, it has no roots except those stemming from the 'Old Countries'.
This country, unlike any other, sprouted up via the seed of England and soon became a mixture of all the other countries, all abiding as one nation. All calling themselves Americans, not China transplants or Norwegian visitors. Every nation that desires to move here, become a part of our thread, seen as equals.
When the founding fathers, those that put their backs into this new enterprise, established that the church would always be the foundation, they put it in writing. They did this through the constitution by making sure it was written, that the government was not to rule law over the church. The church was to remain separate.
The church, as they knew it, was foundationally Christian.
Christianity was written into our foundation and the laws were originally written according to the Bible. The very land we stand on, was first claimed by the Bible. Our buildings, laws and social structure are all based on that same foundation.
To say, "Get rid of Christianity in the U.S.", is to say "Get rid of our foundation".
Why do people continue to come to the U.S.? Is it not to find the freedom to live, work and enjoy their own labors? What other country foundation, provides what the U.S. provides? What makes the U.S. so different?
The freedom they seek is derived from the foundational convictions of Christian men and women. That freedom stems from the beliefs of the Bible. Remove those beliefs, and you've removed the one thing that stands and fights for freedom.
