Sheesh.

Going to go back and see if the “A Beka” homeschool curriculum I was taught for several years was influenced by “Bartonism.” Is that curriculum, I was taught that the southern officers in the Civil War were God-fearing individuals who treated their slaves well, and that northerners didn’t really care about blacks, they just wanted to cripple the southern economy. I also learned that America “has never entered into an unjust war.”

Later switched to Alpha Omega, and that was a much more balanced curriculum.

Gingerich makes much ado about Deists and seculars – but Deists and seculars didn’t establish something like a First amendment in France. What made the difference? Baptists (and perhaps Quakers) – that is: Christians – made the difference!

Personally I ‘d much prefer to find a reliable book about the impact of Christianity on the United States than all those pro and contra about Jefferson (who is probably grossly overestimated, being for a long time the guy into whom every discontent citizen projected his own ideas). Perhaps someone of you can recommend me such a book?
