The United States Is Not A Christian Nation – And I Have The Proof!

Guest speaker Rob Boston will share his thoughts on our secular nation at Pioneer Hall, 4-6 PM, Sunday April 8th, at 73 Winburn Way in Ashland. Religious Right activists often claim that the United States was founded to be a "Christian nation," and a surprisingly high number of Americans believe them. In this talk, Rob will pull together several strands of evidence from history and the law to show why the people who make this assertion don't have a leg to stand on. He'll also discuss why the "Christian nation" myth persists and the role it plays in contemporary debates over church-state separation.

Rob Boston is the Director of Communications for Americans United for Separation of Church and State. He is the author of four books and serves as editor of AU's Church & State magazine.

Rob will also give a lecture at RVUUF at 7 PM on the following Monday evening, so please check out the lecture calendar notice for details.
