evidence: There is an insidious campaign of false Propaganda being waged today, to the effect that our country is not a Christian country but a religious one-that it was not founded on Christianity but on freedom of religion. It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by 'religionists' but by Christians-not on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here. [...] In any case Patrick Henry never wrote the "religionists" quotation--he couldn't have. Both the language and history are wrong. A "religionist" in Patrick Henry's time was a person obsessed with religion, not a religious person, and "peoples of other faiths" would not be "afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here" until after Henry's time.
