October 2011 – A new release from AFA examines the religious foundations of America and issues a warning that the nation must return to God or face the possible end of the republic.
Divorcing God: Secularism and the Republic is a look at what the Founding Fathers believed about morality and religious faith as the pillars of our government and nation, and the dangers posed by secular humanism. The DVD also explores the historical patterns of the lives of nations and empires – from birth and growth to prosperity, weakness, decay and death.
The film is not just about doom and gloom, however. “Divorcing God is a hopeful presentation of the power of our Christian faith and the power of renewal,” said AFA president Tim Wildmon. “The film represents AFA’s very reason for existence: We believe Christians should get informed about what’s happening in our country and get involved.”
The DVD is scheduled for its public premiere at the Values Voter Summit being held in Washington, D.C., October 7-9. The film is the product of months of work, and includes interviews with many leading experts on the foundational principles of our republic.
Interviewees include Hadley Arkes, professor of jurisprudence at Amherst College; Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute; Daniel Dreisbach, professor of public affairs at American University; Michael Farris, constitutional attorney and chancellor of Patrick Henry College; Matthew Franck, professor of political science at Radford University; Robert George, professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University; George Grant, author and founder of King’s Meadow Study Center; Peter Lillback, professor of historical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary; Judith Reisman, visiting professor of law at Liberty University School of Law; and Matthew Spalding, director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies at the Heritage Foundation.
“We have high hopes for this film, but most of all we believe there is still time for America to return to God,” said Wildmon. “We hope Divorcing God will play a small part in that.”
