The faith of our fathers?

"Our nation must return to the faith, freedoms, and family values of our Founding Fathers. These men were people of deep and abiding faith and there is a concerted effort by many in our country to ‘rewrite’ our country’s history devoid of that faith," according to Rick McKinney. Rick and his wife Jane are walking across America in an event they've labeled Walk To Reclaim America

"We want Christians to know that it’s not too late for our nation. We can still make a difference and reclaim this country for God if we will let our voice be heard," says McKinney.

So... what you're saying, Rick, is that by turning away from the brutal slavery of Africans, replete with more than a few rapes, murders and the ubiquitous use of torture by slave owners, indentured servitude of the abjectly poor, forcing little children to work ten to twelve hours a day in inhuman conditions and treating married woman as the wholly-owned property of their husbands that we are turning away from God?

Why is it that those who complain the loudest about others allegedly rewriting history are themselves attempting to do that very thing?
