1. There is a belief that the United States is a "Christian Nation." Based on the founding documents
and the prevalent Enlightenment ideals of the 18th century, how could this argument be supported or
opposed?
Due to the previous belief that the United States is a “Christian Nation” this argument can be either backed up or
opposed by further research. Based on the similarities of the main values that the United States holds, this
argument can technically be backed up. During the enlightenment of the 18th century, there was a concept put in
place stating that people have natural rights to their life (life, liberty, and property). According to the Declaration of
Independence, it is mentioned that people have “certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and
the Pursuit of Happiness” (Declaration of Independence, 1776). All of these rights are from the source of the
“Creator.” Now, who that creator is is completely up to the individual who is affected by these rights. According to
Christians, the creator is God, and that is what I think most people would agree with as well. The United States as a
whole is majority Christian, as it is 70.6% Christian (NW et al., n.d.). With this statistic in mind, the argument that
the United States is a “Christian Nation” can be supported. However, with this being said, the United States is not a
strictly Christian nation, there are still many other religious and non-religious citizens who reside in the United
States and are unaffected by the influence Christian culture has on their country.

2. How did the Great Awakening challenge the authority of the established churches? What role did this
play in planting the seeds for the Revolution? How did the challenging of religious authority lead to
the challenging of political authority?
The Great Awakening challenged the authority of established churches by creating outbursts of Protestant
Revivalism (Schultz, 2018). The Great Awakening was the first large-scale religious revival in American history,
and it impacted many peoples lives in all different kinds of ways. Ministers started pushing the idea that if you
worked hard enough, you would make your way into heaven, and by doing so you were then allowed to express
your religion and emotions that were tied with your religion. This played a role in planting the seeds for revolution
because many colonists felt that the established religions overly accommodated the rise of rational thought, which
then allowed the rationalization of too much free rein in the spiritual world (Schultz, 2018). There was a sour
