Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? @EddieBeckerDocs

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Was America founded as a Christian nation, and how do modern movements represent that legacy today? In this street-level documentary filmed in Washington, D.C., we explore the intersection of American history, Christian heritage, street evangelism, and political culture.

Through candid interviews with historical re-enactors portraying George Washington and Patrick Henry, street preachers, rally attendees, and local law enforcement, this video examines the complex relationship between the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, faith, and the historical reality of slavery in early America.

Key Topics Covered:
- The role of Christian values in the founding of the United States.
- Historical re-enactors on Patrick Henry, George Washington, and slavery.
- Modern street evangelism and soul-winning movements in Washington D.C.
- Media coverage, police equipment, and corporate connections at national rallies.
- Reflections on American patriotism, faith, and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land."

250th birthday came with pageantry, sermons, and a very selective memory.
Opens with a Bull called the Patriot.
But the real fun begins when the reenactors — those fine gentlemen playing George Washington, James Madison, and Patrick Henry — are asked to account for slavery, the slave trade, and the neat little habit of declaring all men equal while keeping a firm hold on those they owned. Their answers, like many political speeches, manage to be long enough to sound serious and vague enough to mean nearly nothing.

Meanwhile, a great evangelical soul-winning army marches across Washington with a script in hand, saving souls by the hundreds of thousands. Add to this a health-patch saleswoman with a gospel for merchandise, a Secret Service vehicle they don’t want to admit was made in Canada, and an agent who seems to change his story when the truth gets too close, plus a final chorus of “This Land Is Your Land,” and you get the American pageant in its natural state: earnest, contradictory, and rather too fond of praising itself while forgetting to take off its muddy boots. #Freedom250 #JudeoChristian #ChristianNationalism #LifeWave #WashingtonDC #americanhistory #ChristianFounding #WashingtonDC #GeorgeWashington #PatrickHenry #StreetEvangelism #FaithAndFreedom

$Half the Planet Doomed If We Dont Act - Scientist Says James Hansen while working for NASA, was one of the first scientists to connect greenhouse gases, like C02, with global temperature rise, warning a congressional hearing back in the 1980s of the dire consequences. I asked him for the latest science, he started in on his most recent journal paper to be published soon - but then suddenly stopped, remembering, that he was embargoed from talking - until publication. So I told him to just talk about the science and not mention the Journal name which is very old, prestigious and Royal. (UPDATE The paper to be published mid summer 2013 by the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A)) see http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/earth-insight/2013/jul/10/james-hansen-fossil-fuels-runaway-global-warming He says that if we burn up 100% of the earths fossil fuels, well make 50% of the earth humanly uninhabitable. So it seems its not the end of the world, like some predict well maybe the end for half the world! But for most of those left the earth wouldnt be such a nice place to live. Hansen more precise statement on CO2 emissions and climate can be found here http://citizenschallenge.blogspot.com/2013/04/james-hansen-making-things-clearer.html Hansen started his career at NASA back in the 1980s specialized in understanding the Venusian atmosphere. NASA scientists were trying to figure out why the surface temperature of the planet Venus was hotter than Mercurys, despite being nearly twice as far from the Sun and receiving only 25% of the solar energy then Mercury. Instrumentation showed the atmosphere of Venus composed mostly of CO2, with some water vapor and sulfur dioxide all working together to trap heat like a huge greenhouse and super-heat the planet. Another peculiar thing, about Venus, was that there was not much difference between night and day temperatures, unlike Mercury, where temperatures at night were colder by a factor of 6-7 times. Meaning that the atmosphere on Venus, conducts heat - so the more greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere the less cooling at night!. So when Hansen looked at earths atmosphere, and saw atmospheric Co2 concentration rise along with global earth temperatures, he sounded the alarm and still is. Though, had space scientists discovered an asteroid on trajectory to wipe out half the earth, I think we would likely be doing more to head that off. The USA seems likely to approve the XL pipeline, that in the short term will make us more dependent on the dirtiest fossil fuels. The so called global economic recession has not significantly cut down emissions. China surpassed the US as the top Co2 emitter (2011 data) though when population is factored in, China, per-capita, emits 3-4 times less Co2 per person, and has invested almost a third more in renewable energy research then the U.S. (2009 -10). Which is all to say that things are going to get a lot worse before they get any better. Transcript Hansen: Well, I think the most important thing my colleagues and I have come up with in recent years is the fact that if we burn all of the fossil fuels, more than half the planet will be uninhabitable by humans. So it makes absolutely no sense to be going after every fossil fuel we can find. We are going to have to leave the dirtiest ones like the tar sands, tar shale, fracking for gas. We are going to have to leave those in the ground. Otherwise we are going to create a situation in which we will have an unlivable planet for our grandchildren and future generations. Interviewer: So how far along are we in burning half the fossil fuels that are in the ground? Hansen: Weve burned only a fraction; only about a tenth of the fossil fuels. But were trying to get all of them out of the ground. It makes no sense. We have got to move to clean energies. We are already beginning to see the impacts with increased storms, increased droughts. But the long range consequences will be even worse. It makes no sense to continue down that path. We have got to move to clean energies. We have got to put a price on fossil fuels by collecting a fee from the fossil fuel companies and distributing the money to the public so the public can make the changes that are necessary to move to more energy efficiency and clean energy. Interviewer: What do you think about today? Hansen: This is great. This is by far the biggest crowd we have ever had and finally I think the public is waking up to the fact that our governments are working for the fossil fuel industry. Our governments are well oiled and they are coal fired. The public has got to begin to put the pressure on the governments to serve the people, not the special interests.$
