In 1892 the US Supreme Court made an exhaustive study of the connection between Christianity and the government. After researching hundreds of volumes of historical documents, the USSC asserted:
“these references add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a religious people…a Christian nation.”
In 1931, USSC Justice George Sutherland reiterated that Americans are “a Christian people”.
In 1952, USSC Justice William O. Douglas affirmed “we are a religious people and our institutions presuppose a Supreme Being.”
