Former congressman and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) has no idea how this country was founded. Apparently, the U.S. went astray when we allowed our government to be secular. According to an interview on the Global Evangelism Television Network (GETV), DeLay thinks weve forgotten that God founded this country, and that God wrote our Constitution.

This is worse than absurd, even for Tom DeLay. He served in Congress for over 20 years, so he should know something of U.S. history. Its bad enough that our elected members of the religious right think this country was founded on Biblical law. Its also pretty bad that they see the word creator in the Declaration of Independence and automatically assume that the founding fathers intended for the U.S. to be a Christian nation.
Men, not God, founded this country on many different principles. The most important, and the central principle of our country, is freedom. That includes religious freedom. Tom DeLays idea that God founded this country and wrote the Constitution is disturbing at best, because it takes the We are a Christian nation myth to a whole new, terrible level.
Tom DeLay said, back in October, that we need to have a Constitutional renewal and revival. This, of course, would go hand-in-hand with whatever spiritual revival he sees going on in this country. God has, apparently, called for just such a revival to bring this country back to him.
