Before the Revolutionary War, America was a nation divided by different faiths. But when the war for independence sparked in 1776, colonists united under the banner of religious freedom. Evangelical frontiersmen and Deist intellectuals set aside their differences to defend a belief they shared, the right to worship freely. Inspiring an unlikely but powerful alliance, it was the idea of religious liberty that brought the colonists together in the battle against British tyranny.In God of Liberty, historian Thomas S. Kidd argues that the improbable partnership of evangelicals and Deists saw America through the Revolutionary War, the ratification of the Constitution, and the election of Thomas Jefferson in 1800. A thought-provoking reminder of the crucial role religion played in the Revolutionary era, God of Liberty represents both a timely appeal for spiritual diversity and a groundbreaking excavation of how faith powered the American Revolution.

Yet another evangelical hoping to rewrite history.

That’s disconcerting - has this academic historian actually misused, altered or falsified his historiographical sources for the work in some specific manner? Has he expunged the factual historical record? Are there particular examples of his radical misrepresentations of history which can be cited?

Crimsongflush,…. yet another whiny bitch hoping to dissuade the reading of history

It wasn’t thought-through, the idea of this being an evangelical rewrite of the nation’s religious past. It’d be nearly impossible to inject MORE religion into the American colonies at the time. Everyone was SO religious that the Founders purposely enshrined the separation of church and state because everyone was SO religious, all believing their version correct and everyone else’s wrong. Naturally, they were wrong about that (a cultist has every right to lead prayers on school football fields) just like it was a mistranslation from the original English the word ‘militia’ in a certain document that no one seems to remember being there whenever another mass shooting happens and we all collectively pause and ask ‘how’. It means ‘anybody who breathes’ but original English is tricky like that. We have more synonyms now.

“Well-regulated” ought to qualify that constructively nebulous “militia” entity; meaning, I suppose “not barking mad, please.” Unfortunately for victims of this mess - past, present, future - I don’t think this Gun Crazy dynamic is going away.
On the bk: I think that rather the historian’s thesis is that there was a creative ambiguity of sorts operating, bringing different strands of thought together, and conditioning the ideas of the movement. Interestingly enough, there’s a precedent in the New Testament itself, in Mark, for the separation of church & state. This is not a common insight in human history, as we know. There was also a negative precedent which the founders were conscious of: England had (& continues to have) an established church, which did cause great historical strife. The founders & framers knew that religion could inculcate values, while the state would legislate on the basis of, & around those values. So this dimension could be outsourced, as the kids say.
Also, that great formula, “Separation of church and state” does not actually appear in your American constitution. In addition (this must be History Sunday) - churches continued to be established in America, decades following its ratification. So, the concept continues to evolve incrementally.

The people replying “evangelical rewrite” are not at all familiar with the primary sources or state of historiography. Thomas Kidd actually downplays the significance religion in the revolution. He just downplays it less than most leftist historians.
