Faith In The Founding – Religion’s Integral Role

The Martin Memo · Foundations of America (Episode 4) Host Zachary Martin traces the unmistakable place of faith in America’s founding—from the Mayflower Compact and John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill,” through the First Great Awakening, to the words and practices of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, and Adams. The episode shows how religious liberty, virtue, and a shared sense of providence shaped the Revolution, the Constitution, and the early republic—and why the founders never intended a secular public square. This is Episode 4 in the series Foundations of America: How Our Nation Was Built. Includes the Cold Monologue Q&A.
