The vital role Christianity played in creating and shaping America continues to get the short shrift from the radical left, which takes every opportunity to tear it down, according to renowned conservative David Horowitz, author of the bestselling book "Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America."
Leftists have even attempted to erase from the history books the participation of Christians in the fight to end slavery, Horowitz told "Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk" podcast this week.
"To deny the role that Christians played in ending slavery is to attack America at its very foundation," Horowitz said. "If you understand the role that Christian values have played in creating this country then it only could have been created by protestant Christians.
"The fact of the matter is this country is responsible for the global idea now that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Horowitz, a secular Jew who is a former radical leftist himself, is founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The nonprofit think tank, based in Sherman Oaks, California, defends religious groups from totalitarian attacks around the world.
Interestingly, Horowitz does not believe in God himself, but passionately defends those who do.
"I am an agnostic, which means I don't know," he told Dobson, an evangelical Christian author, psychologist and influential spokesmen for conservative ideals in America. "Look, atheism is a faith. You can't know that there's no God. It's a faith. In my view, it's a very bad faith and a very destructive one. And it's full of hate.
"But a believing Christian or a believing Jew has to be touched by faith," Horowitz continued. "Whatever it is, I don't know if there's a God, I don't have that faith. What I believe and what I have written is that the greatest wisdom that I know of about our condition – who we are, and where we are – is to be found in the Bible."
Horowitz's "Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America," is published by Humanix Books.
