In the video titled "Is God in the Constitution?", David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, explores the religious foundations of the U.S. Constitution. He argues that the Constitution is deeply rooted in biblical principles and that the Founding Fathers intended for God's presence to be integral to the nation's governance. Barton supports his claims by referencing historical documents and statements from the Founders, suggesting that a significant portion of the Constitution reflects biblical citations. This presentation aligns with WallBuilders' mission to highlight America's Christian heritage and advocate for the integration of faith into public life.
For a more in-depth exploration, Barton expands on these themes in the American Family Association's Cultural Institute DVD titled "God in the Constitution." In this 42-minute session, he delves into the uniqueness of the U.S. Constitution, the importance of its godly foundations, and the ways to preserve its original intent. resources.afa.net
It's important to note that Barton's interpretations have been subject to criticism from scholars who argue that his views represent a form of Christian nationalism and that his historical analyses often lack academic rigor.
