About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the U.S. Constitution's omission of references to God and its impact on America's moral and political landscape.

American Reform returns to Our Interesting Times to discuss his provocative essay "The Godless Constitution: America's Original Sin." We talk about how the U.S. Constitution’s deliberate omission of any reference to God, Christ, divine law, or the duties of the state toward the true religion represents not a neutral strength or safeguard for liberty, but a fatal foundational flaw—the "original sin" from which America’s ongoing moral, religious, cultural, and political decline inevitably flows.
