christians. what does it mean when you're nation, american christians, your nation has taken a phrase, not with badintentions, but has taken a phrase out of the gospel of matthew, a phrase made famous by jesus, applied to the church, used by the church for more than a thousand years, and then the nationstate takes it on as part of its own identity. it does so so successfully that it's common for it to be attributed to john winthrop. in fact, i was told that's what happened on jeopardy. i was told it was attributive to john winthrop and not jesus. one of the implications when part of your own possession, part of your scripture is taken by the nationstate and used for its own purposes. that is part of our civil religion debate that we have in america. >> did you have any input on the washington d.c. landmarks built on a tower of sand? >> i did. i had more input on this than any other book. that is a very perceptive question. i will admit there was another proposal out there that i pleaded with the publisher in britain, and we talked a lot about the timing of the book and what would connect with the b

we can be a christian nation. we can demonstrate how a nation ought to function. even to the point of some suggestion, i remember a great historian though not an , evangelical, he portrayed american history as this -- god-ordained movement of progress toward the great and all. certainly there are a lot of excellent qualities of democracy. it was almost as if there was a divine appointment for america to head in this direction. i do think there is a consistency among some evangelicals of this fame. -- this theme. while i would critique it, there is a flip side to that. there is certainly a recognition that america is a western civilization. it is certainly predicated on judeo-christian values. we can debate the notion of a christian nation all night. we don't need to do it. certainly, we were a country that was at least influenced by christian thought and biblical principle. evangelicals have latched onto that and wanted to participate in a system and bring biblical principles to bear in the public square. while i might critique the messianic view of america, i als

like many people in our nation i happen to belong to the christian faith.ut i also realize there are people of other faiths and some people of no faith and i respect that. i think that is the same way you will find that i will govern. i will respect all peoples. i think that is what we are called to do. i will take an oath to uphold our constitution and treat people equally. my faith is something that is important to me. i'm not running to force my ideology or my faith on someone else. rather than stand on the street corner, i will use a biblical analogy, i would rather people know that i'm a person of faith by my actions. moderator: very good. next, mr. bell. mr. bell: my faith is important to me. it is not something i want to force on other people. if you have done any reading it all on the libertarian party, that is what we are all about. we look at the individual. every individual has rights. and you know, if you get 40 individuals together they do not have more rights than a single individual. for me to decide that the bulk of the nation is a christian

christians. so what -- what does it mean when your nation, american christians, what does it mean when your nationas taken a phrase, not with bad intentions but has taken a phrase out of the gospel of matthew, a phrase made famous by jesus, apply it to the church, used by the church for more than a thousand years and then the nation state takes it on as part of its own identity and it does so so successfully that it's common for it to be attributed to john winthrop. it was attributed to john winthrop and not to jesus. my challenge is for christians to think seriously what are the implications when part of your own possession, part of your scripture is taken by the nation and used for purposes and that's part of our civil religion debate in america. >> did you have any input on the cover showing washington, d.c., landmarks built on a tower fan? >> i did. i had more input on this than any previous book and i'm glad you ask that. there was another proposal out there that -- that i pleaded with the publisher, publisher primarily in britain and he talked about the title of the book and what would conne

nations more secure. but today we're reminded that the bonds which matter most run deeper. anchored in a judeo-christian tradition, we believe in the irreduceable value of every human being. our nations were built on that idea. they were built in large part by stubborn idealists and striving immigrants, including those who had fled war and fled oppression . both our nations have flaws that we have not always fixed. our history which dates back to our founding that we do not always squarely address. but because our founders planted not just flags in the eternal soil, but also planted the seeds of democracy. we have the ability to always pursue a better world. we have the capacity to do what is right. as an american, as a christian, a person partly of african descent, born in hawaii, a place that could not be further than where shimon spent his youth, i took great pleasure in my friendship with this older, wiser man. we shared a love of words and books and history and perhaps like most politicians we shared too great a joy in hearing ourselves talk. but beyond that i think our friendship was rooted in the
