Michael explores the issue of \"Faith in the White House\" as the topic of this live Sunday morning presentation to the congregation of Bayside Community Church in Kingston, Washington. Also included in this recording is the Christmas Eve radio broadcast by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 24, 1944. This recording is provided courtesy of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Recent polling about the Presidential race shows an overhwhelming majority of Americans unwilling to vote for an atheist. Many \"enlightened\" and politically correct commentators will declare that this represents an unacceptable religious prejudice, but in this dynamic and provocative talk Michael makes the case that it's appropriate to do everything possible to keep an atheist from the White House. He makes the case that in our founding documents, we view our liberties as a gift from God --- and those who deny God must, inevitably, view freedom as arbitrary and negotiable. Moreover, any President who openly denied the existence of a Creator would alienate himself in an unhealthy way from the nation's profoundly religious majority-- and from hundreds of years of American tradition, where the nation's non-Christian religious minorities (very much including Jews) have thrived not in spite of our Christian heritage, but because of it. As an added bonus, this audio CD features the precious, complete recording of Franklin D. Roosevelt's moving Christmas message to the troops in 1944 at the height of World War II-- radio broadcast specifically cited by Michael in his lecture. Here, the President of the United States was making specific references to Jesus that would drive today's ACLU into apoplexy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003caudio width=\"300\" height=\"32\" class=\"progression-single progression-skin progression-minimal-dark progression-audio-player\" controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"http:\/\/www.srnonline.com\/medved-audio\/Faith%20in%20the%20White%20House%20-%20Essential%20or%20Inappropriate.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003cp\u003eTotal Run Time:  1hr, 1min\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salem","offers":[{"title":"Download","offer_id":51822922432798,"sku":"MMA73-010-DL","price":15.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":51822922465566,"sku":"MMA73-010-CD","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/3826\/5630\/files\/IntersectionReligPolitics__98814__36048.1732660525.1280.1280.jpg?v=1775755361"},{"product_id":"gods-hand-on-america","title":"God's Hand on America","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichael Medved recounts events that serve as evidence of a higher power in world and American history.

In all of these conflicts, militant secularists insist that they are upholding long-standing American traditions and fighting for religious liberty against aggressive incursions by the dreaded \"Christian Right.\" In making their case, uncompromising separationists insist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerica was founded by refugees from religious persecution, who wanted no government entanglement with faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Founders were religious skeptics, often Deists, who deeply feared the influence of Christianity on the new nation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Jefferson in particular (the author of the Declaration of Independence and Third President) wanted to minimize the role of religion in government and society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First Amendment strictly forbade any endorsement of religion by government at all levels-- even if that endorsement was general and non-specific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent religious conservatives are attacking our cherished separationist traditions, and thereby threatening the Constitution, our liberty, our national harmony, and America's long-accepted secular essence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this special broadcast, MICHAEL MEDVED shows that NONE of these claims are true, or even close to the truth. Using original sources, eye-witness accounts, and amazing details of the historical record, he dissects the prevailing lies that suggest that the U.S. was always intended to be a secular, not Christian nation. Medved explains that early settlers sought purity, not tolerance; that leaders of the American revolution fought for sanctity, not separation; that the First Amendment meant to guard unity, not secularism; that the great leaders of the Republic struggled with faith, rather than celebrating doubt. In the process, Medved reveals fascinating, unexpected insights on what the First Amendment really meant to accomplish, what Jefferson said in the rest of the letter suggesting a \"wall of separation between church and state,\" how we got our national motto \"In God We Trust,\" and how it's no accident that every patriotic song that's cherished by the American people invokes God at some point. In an entertaining, eye-opening and provocative brand new broadcast (recorded for the first time in May, 2010), Medved concludes that America IS, in fact, a Christian nation --- and that the blessings conferred by this nation on its historically crucial Jewish community (and other minorities) came because of, not in spite of, our Christian heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003caudio preload=\"none\" controls=\"controls\" class=\"progression-single progression-skin progression-minimal-dark progression-audio-player\" height=\"32\" width=\"300\"\u003e\u003csource type=\"audio\/mp3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.srnonline.com\/medved-audio\/Is%20America%20A%20Christian%20Nation.mp3\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Run Time:  1hr, 52min \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salem","offers":[{"title":"Download","offer_id":51822922826014,"sku":"MMA105-001\/002-DL","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":51822922858782,"sku":"MMA105-001\/002-CD","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/3826\/5630\/files\/flagwithcross__31865__59633.1732660527.1280.1280.jpg?v=1775755390"},{"product_id":"myths-lies-and-truth-about-the-jewish-religion","title":"Myths, Lies and Truth About the Jewish Religion","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor many people, much of what they think they know about Jews and Judaism simply isn't true.

In this new program, Michael Medved sweeps away much of the confusion concerning Jewish practices and theology. In a highly personal and provocative approach, Medved attempts to correct some of the most prominent mistakes that regularly turn up in conversations about the Jewish faith. This broadcast isn't so much an \"introduction to Judaism,\" (nobody could attempt that in just a few hours of conversation) as a beginning of a re-orientation to the often surprising truth about Jewish tradition and teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003caudio width=\"300\" height=\"32\" class=\"progression-single progression-skin progression-minimal-dark progression-audio-player\" controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"http:\/\/www.srnonline.com\/medved-audio\/Myths%20Lies%20and%20Truth%20About%20the%20Jewish%20Religion.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Run Time:  1hr, 52min \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salem","offers":[{"title":"Download","offer_id":51822923022622,"sku":"MMA31-001\/002-DL","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":51822923055390,"sku":"MMA31-001\/002-CD","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/3826\/5630\/files\/starofdavidtorah__15674__19194.1732660527.1280.1280.jpg?v=1775755402"},{"product_id":"the-case-for-divine-providence-in-u-s-history","title":"The Case for Divine Providence in U.S. History","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs historian Walter MacDougall declares, \"The creation of the United States is the central event of the last 400 years of human history.\" No other development has proven more consequential, or less predictable, than the rapid emergence of the dominant economic, military and cultural power on earth in the sparsely settled, undeveloped continent of North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003caudio width=\"300\" height=\"32\" controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"http:\/\/www.srnonline.com\/medved-audio\/The-Case-for-Divine-Providence-audio-clip.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\"\u003e\u003c\/audio\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dramatic nature of America's rise allows only three plausible explanations -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eit's an accident, a series of fortunate coincidences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eit's a crime, a collection of uniquely selfish, ruthless, exploitative misdeeds that allowed America to push ahead of the rest of the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eor it's the hand of God, an example of Divine Providence at work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis show makes clear that virtually all our leaders over the course of some 400 years have understood the American experience as a result of a Higher Power's influence on history.
