We Mustn't Compare Them to Nazis

I believe there is a spiritual battle happening all around us…Right now, this state is a Christian state; I want to see that to continue. But we need the faithful, we need those of you that have influence over your congregation to put pressure on your pastors.

—Charlie Kirk, Trump rally, October 24, 2024

The National Government….regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.

—Adolf Hitler, “Proclamation to the German Nation,” Berlin, February 1, 1933

The necessity of virtue was fundamental to the American Founding Fathers. Fifty-five out of 56 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Christians who regularly attended church. At least a dozen were pastors and maybe even more than that had religious degrees….Freedom is not sustainable if you remove religion. I’ll be even more specific: Freedom is not sustainable if you remove Christianity. Eventually, it will implode.

—Charlie Kirk, “TAKEAWAYS,” February 2022

The views of liberalism have now become so much the dominant ideas of all so-called intellectuals that even current Christian orthodoxy is unwittingly corroded by it, and by having an enemy in its camp is prevented from fighting it in the open with any success.

Even men who are not orthodox, but zealous advocates of religion who really believe that nations can only thrive through religion, have fallen under the spell of the prevailing norms of liberalism and relapse into its basic principles, which deny nature and history.

How often people have set about creating a religious reawakening. But religion cannot be reawakened, it awakes.

—Paul de Lagarde, “The Need to Transcend Liberalism,” 1886

1. The Treaty of Tripoli - signed in 1796

Article 11 reads:

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

According to Frank Lambert, Professor of History at Purdue University, the assurances in Article 11 were "intended to allay the fears of the Muslim state by insisting that religion would not govern how the treaty was interpreted and enforced. John Adams and the Senate made clear that the pact was between two sovereign states, not between two religious powers." Lambert writes,

By their actions, the Founding Fathers made clear that their primary concern was religious freedom, not the advancement of a state religion. Individuals, not the government, would define religious faith and practice in the United States. Thus the Founders ensured that in no official sense would America be a Christian Republic. Ten years after the Constitutional Convention ended its work, the country assured the world that the United States was a secular state, and that its negotiations would adhere to the rule of law, not the dictates of the Christian faith. The assurances were contained in the Treaty of Tripoli of 1797 and were intended to allay the fears of the Muslim state by insisting that religion would not govern how the treaty was interpreted and enforced. John Adams and the Senate made clear that the pact was between two sovereign states, not between two religious powers.
