I’ve been deep in this for a while. Not just researching the founders, but trying to understand something bigger underneath all of it: how beliefs form in the first place. How repetition becomes “truth.” How certain versions of history survive because they’re easier to carry, easier to teach, easier to build identity around. And how most of us, myself included, absorb far more than we ever consciously examine. This one goes deeper than the founders article did. It’s really about the architecture underneath belief itself. https://open.substack.com/pub/adanestorwc/p/the-architecture-of-belief
I started feeding the birds shortly before my double mastectomy in February. I added more food types as the sun turned warm, and was rewarded with the first hummingbird this morning shortly after sunrise! Life needed to slow down, to heal, and I found a new hobby in the process that brought me immeasurable peace. Happy Wednesday!
Amazing! Now to figure out this platform! Thank You!
There’s a growing push to frame the U.S. as a “Christian nation.” I get why. I believed it too. It doesn’t hold up once you actually read the founders. Not the quotes we repeat. Their own words. Some rejected core Christian doctrine. Others kept their language intentionally broad. Many were influenced by deism and Enlightenment thinking. The Constitution reflects that. No doctrinal anchor. No reference to Christ. But also no attempt to remove religion. That’s not accidental. It’s design. I broke this down with specific examples from their writings. https://open.substack.com/pub/adanestorwc/p/the-lie-that-made-christian-nationalism?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=mzw1v
