About This Podcast
Was America founded as a Christian Nation, or is that the most dangerous lie in modern American politics?
Join Jim, an Army combat veteran who swore an oath to defend the Constitution, as he takes on the widespread propaganda of the Christian Nationalist movement. This isn't just an academic debate; for a soldier who swore to protect our republic, it's a matter of honor.
Each episode of False Foundation deconstructs the historical myths, half-truths, and outright lies used to build the "False Foundation" of a theocratic America. Using primary sources and a soldier's eye for strategy, Jim exposes the Cognitive Warfare campaign designed to hijack American history—from the real story of the Pilgrims to the fabricated prayers of the Founders.
If you believe in the secular republic, value historical truth, and are concerned about the rise of authoritarianism, this is the podcast for you. It's time to defend the real foundation of our country.
