Well, since you just disregard the British Christian history altogether, discussion over. You can believe all the hot air castles you want.
Never did I disregard the British Christian history all together. It has been established that Christianity has had a presence in England since fairly early on. But I'm not going to believe an unsourced or badly sourced blog by a white nationalist over the consensus of series historians. Even the Church of England doesn't claim what he claims.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Yet the US Constitution fails to define what "pursuit of happiness" is understood to be, and what it could include. Hedonism may be the definition of happiness to many, the amassing of wealth and status is the definition of happiness to many. The US Constitution, by simply describing the provision as the "pursuit of happiness", fails to realize that many things in the world DO NOT ultimately lead to happiness and spiritual fulfillment.

My friend, all this stuff you believe is basically conjecture and fantasy from 18th century antiquarians with too much time on their hands. It is the same silly phenomenon such as claiming Brutus of Troy founded Britain, or Pharoah's daughter Scotia Scotland. Just follow up the primary sources and you see they fizzle out in a line of Martial, vague Mediaeval legends full of dragons and ogres, and 18-19th century Welsh and English country gentlemen's guesses.

I adressed it in your Celtic thread, too.

I am Jesuit trained and am at a complete loss as to why they are so thoroughly bad mouthed. BTW, I am no longer an RC.

A certain pope in South America said a similar thing, when he looked at the Jesuit priests there and said, "So, you're not all Marxists." (from Malachi Martin's book about the Jesuit order).

They were scholars. God raised them up in the same sense in which He raises us up all politicians/rulers/magisrates/kings/emperors/earls/mayors/etc. The US Constitution is our supreme governing document, and I believe in the stability of a consistent rule of law. If we were to peacefully change our governmental system to something else that benefits the nation, I wouldn't rebel against it.

One could argue the merits of US' founders' rebellion or of their political and governmental philosophy. I don't quite agree with the premise of the question, and cannot answer it as worded.
