America, Christian from the get-go, June 23, 2025.

0:11.0

A lot of disinformation has been circulated about the Christian founding of America.

0:15.0

I say disinformation because I'm being polite, as is my want.

0:19.0

There are other nouns that could be used, like lies,

0:21.7

falsehoods, mendacious deviations, and devious circumlocutions. The deception has been made
