Christian nationalists have successfully persuaded too many Americans to abandon our heritage, to spurn our secular foundations in favor of their myth. It is time to reclaim that heritage and refute these myths. We need to remind Americans that our Constitution demands an absolute separation between church and state, as John Kennedy said. We must raise hell when the wall of separation between state and church is breached. We must, as Madison warned, take “alarm at the first experiment on our liberties.”12
