What values is America founded on?

Answer 1

It was founded on The Bible. Jesus Christ is the true Savior of the world. He died on the cross for all our sins. If you have not accepted him as your Lord, and Savior, I encourage you to do so. :)

Answer 2

A:In terms of religion, America was founded on the principle that no person could be required to follow a religion but that if he chose to follow a religion he would be unencumbered in following that belief. This was the principle of freedom of religion and meant that the state would not support religion in any way.

It is generally assumed that the Founding Fathers were all Christians, but that was not the case. Some were deists, notably Thomas Jefferson, who created the "Jefferson Bible" by removing most of the Old Testament references and anything that proclaimed Jesus was divine or that a miracle had happened.

Additional Answer:

One could consider George Washington and others as giving America's two pillars of 'religion and morality.' A read of the Constitution will show it to be heavily influenced by the Bible and the Law of God - 'nature's God.' A good place to begin to see the 'principles' (plural) of our founding documents is in the Constitution:

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The reasons are clear:

• Form a more perfect union
• Establish justice
• Insure domestic tranquility
• Provide for the common defense
• Promote the general welfare
• Secure the blessings of liberty to all

Answer 3

The answer to this question depends largley on how you define "founded". The early days of the United States saw a heavy Christian influence that did in some manner affect it's development.
