Boiled down to its essence Monumental: In Search Of America's National Treasure
is a blueprint for fundamentalist Christians to restore America to their view of it.
According to their view of history it was when America did such things as ban
school prayer and make abortion legal and available and heaven help us decide
that LGBTQ people were actually citizens that ought to have equal treatment that
America just lost its way.
Our founding fathers true were for the most part churchgoing folks. But they also saw how wars of religion had torn Europe apart in the previous century. They made provision that at least federally we would have no established religion and none would be given preference. Eventually each state adopted that standard as well. The skepticism of Franklin, the Deism of Jefferson, the outright atheism of Tom Paine gets nary a mention.
It's a warped view of America and Cameron whose career in mainstream entertainment went south is now a star on the Christian circuit. What really annoys me about this view of America and of life when you come right down to it works wonderfully if you accept unquestioningly their view of things. If you don't buy into it,either you are a unregenerate sinner or a person for this crowd to preach to.
Seeing how this crowd is excusing all the scandals and peccadillos of our current president who is trying to give them the America they want should show them up for what they are.
Fundamentalist Christian propaganda that really doesn't stand up to critical examination.
