They Rewrote This American History — And It's Destroying Religious Liberty


Anatomy of the Church and State

Interview With Documentarian Andrew Linn



The "separation of church and state" isn't what they taught you — and it's costing us our religious liberty right now.

Most people think this idea came from secular thinkers like Thomas Jefferson in the 18th century. But 128 years earlier, Roger Williams — a deeply committed Christian — used Scripture to establish true religious freedom in the 1663 Rhode Island charter, making it the FIRST colony to guarantee liberty of conscience.

I sat down with documentary director Andrew Linn ("Church and State: Roger

Williams and the Founding of Freedom of Religion") to expose what really

happened — and who rewrote it.


In this episode, we cover:

✅ Why the modern left has rewritten Roger Williams as a secular hero —

and why every single one of his arguments was rooted in the Bible

✅ The 1663 biblical blueprint that predated the First Amendment by 128 years

✅ Why BOTH the secular "separation" model AND the Puritan state-religion

model fall short of what Scripture actually teaches

✅ What the Founders really built — and what Christian nationalists AND

secular progressives both get wrong

✅ How this hidden history is being used to strip religious liberty today


Whether you're wrestling with Christian nationalism, the First Amendment, or

what the Bible says about government today — this is the conversation that

cuts through the noise with a clear, scripture-based verdict.
