Each of the eight sections of this review produced a definitive conclusion about one of the dominant issues in the Christian-nation allegation:

1. Twenty-one specific claims made by Christian-nation proponents are shown to be false or irrelevant.
2. The theopolitical goals of the Christian-nation advocates are focused on the imposition of a Christian theocracy in the United States.
3. The assertion by Christian-nation proponents that the constitutional principle of separation of church and state is a “myth” is refuted.
4. David Barton’s thirty-year career of historical errors and confusion has not produced one iota of support for the Christian-nation claim.
5. The best-known U.S. founders were not Christians; rather they adhered to the religious philosophies of deism and Unitarianism.
6. The U.S. founding documents are not based on the Bible, but four basic scriptural themes are represented: patriarchalism, slavery, separation of church and state, and affirmation of oaths.
7. The overwhelming evidence of social pathology in the United States in comparison to other modern countries flatly contradicts the Christian-nation assertion.
8. The complete lack of Christian consensus on the major moral issues demonstrates that the United States is not a Christian nation."
