Per USA Today columnist Chris Brennan, the Rededicate 250 event, held on the National Mall to rededicate our country as One Nation Under God, violated both our national spirit and our Constitution.
Per Brennan, the Christian character of the event, and the Protestant content, flies in the face of the national value of religious diversity.
The bottom line on the religious diversity claims points to religion not being a national value at all.
I am perplexed how this squares with the rights noted in our Declaration of Independence asserted under the authority of the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God,” and the appeal of the signers at the Declaration’s conclusion to “the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions.”
The Constitution’s preamble notes its objective is to “secure the Blessings of Liberty.”
The late Claremont Institute scholar Harry V. Jaffa noted, in this context, that “What is a blessing is what is good in the eyes of God.”
Lincoln spoke, in his second inaugural address, to a nation that accepted God, but was no longer “one nation.”
