I’ve encountered some Christians who claim that the United States was founded as a Christian nation but was later led astray. I’ve always debated this point because the founding fathers of the United States held a wide variety of religious beliefs.
In many ways, they were libertarians who sought to create a nation free from the rule of a king, queen, or monarchy. They wanted a country where people could practice their own religion freely, even if it wasn’t Christianity.
For example, consider the first U.S. coin, which bears the phrase “Mind Your Own Business”—a sentiment that aligns strongly with libertarian principles.
The founding fathers established the first country under principles that reflect a modern form of libertarianism, emphasizing individual rights and limited government. This framework has contributed to America’s long-term success. Although there have been efforts over the years to shift the country toward a more socialist system, these attempts have largely failed.
In conclusion, this coin serves as additional evidence that the U.S. was never a Christian nation by design, and it was always intended to be a place of religious freedom for all faiths.
