The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American By Andrew L Seidel

The Founding Myth challenges the idea that the United States was founded as a Christian nation. Constitutional attorney Andrew L. Seidel examines historical documents and writings from the founding era to argue that the American government was intentionally designed to be secular.

The book explores how religious freedom and the separation of church and state became central principles of the Constitution. Seidel also discusses how modern political movements sometimes reinterpret history to support claims of Christian nationalism.

Through historical analysis and legal interpretation, the book encourages readers to reconsider widely held beliefs about the origins of American political identity.
