evidence: Those who read this blog regularly know that I believe America had a strong Biblical basis at its founding. The evidence is pretty overwhelming. Those of us who believe that, though, need to be careful in passing along quotations we have read in secondary sources to back up our belief. Let me give a few examples of spurious quotations we should avoid using. [...] Then there’s this supposed quote from Patrick Henry: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was not founded by religionists but by Christians. . . not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." As it turns out, this is actually a statement from the author of an article about Henry, and wrongly attributed to the Virginian of "Give me liberty or give me death" fame.
