Kirk argues that the United States is a Christian nation,citing the Declaration of Independence as proof,as it references divine authority and appeals to Jesus Christ as the &#8220;Supreme Judge of the world.&#8221; He highlights the challenges faced by the American colonists, including their lack of military resources compared to Britain, and attributes their victory to their strong faith and divine guidance. Kirk emphasizes that the colonial revolution was rooted in religious revival and repentance,which he sees as essential for both spiritual renewal and national liberty. he points out that the Declaration condemned British tyranny, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-gives-pro-life-pregnancy-center-a-win-in-battle-against-blue-state\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Gives Pro-Life Pregnancy Center a Win in Battle Against Blue State\">citing specific violations<\/a> and framing the fight for independence as a moral and divine mission. Kirk concludes by praising the sacrifices of the founders, their reliance on divine Providence, and the significance of faith in shaping America&#8217;s freedom, urging Americans to gratitude and acknowledgment of their divine inheritance. The article also references the author&#8217;s book,&#8221;We Hold These Truths,&#8221; which explores how leaders like Kirk have influenced American culture towards faith and revival.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In one of his final major speeches, Charlie Kirk spoke on last year\u2019s July 4th weekend about the importance of Christian faith in America and how it was manifested in the Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk emphatically believed that America was a Christian nation and that the Declaration, the nation\u2019s \u201cbirth certificate,\u201d as he called it, was proof of it.<\/p>\n<p>That is the same conclusion I reach in the new edition of my book, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0H6GH4VPN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We Hold These Truths<\/a>: The Two Beliefs That Still Hold the Power to Transform the Nation and the World,\u201d in which I examine how leaders, including Kirk, have appealed to ideals found in the Declaration throughout U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>My book opens with some of what Kirk said on July 6, 2025, at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">My new book, \u201cWe Hold These Truths: The Two Beliefs That Still Hold the Power to Transform the Nation and the World,\u201d is out, and it could not be more timely with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/America250?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#America250<\/a> and the rise of socialism.

They had more faith than the British. They had a belief in the divine, and they worshipped God Almighty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that faith had been kindled into a flame across the colonies in the decades before declaring their independence through Great Awakening preachers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ben-franklin-stunned-great-revivals-impact-people-went-indifferent-fervent-believers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Whitefield<\/a>, Jonathan Edwards, and Jonathan Mayhew, Kirk contended.<\/p>\n<p>He summarized, \u201cYou cannot get to revival without repentance, and you can\u2019t get to liberty without revival. And repentance to Almighty God is what led to the founding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, when people recognize they are sinners when measured against God\u2019s laws and repent to get right before Him, they expect those who lead them in government to do the same. Divine law sets limits on the actions governments can legitimately take.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/founding-docs\/declaration-transcript\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Declaration<\/a> opens by stating that King George and Parliament had violated many of the \u201cLaws of Nature and of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/texas-right-federal-judge-wrong-ten-commandments-stay-classroom-foundation-us-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nature\u2019s God<\/a>,\u201d thus denying the American people their God-given rights to \u201clife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/american-revolution-begins-shot-heard-round-world-250-years-ago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">examples of violations<\/a> included shelling and burning coastal towns to the ground, imposing martial law and occupying Boston, abolishing the colonies\u2019 local governments, imposing taxes in which they had no say, and impounding American ships while forcing their crews into military service.<\/p>\n<p>The colonists further stated in the Declaration, \u201cIn every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirk pointed to the closing paragraph of the document as being very important, and what separates the United States from other nations. It reads that the Americans appealed to \u201cthe Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of [their] intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho are they appealing to?\u201d he asked. \u201cThat\u2019s Jesus Christ. Here\u2019s a fun trivia question for all of you this weekend on Independence Day. You guys can tell your friends. Where does Jesus appear in the Declaration? Right there, \u2018the Supreme Judge of the world.\u2019 It says in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Revelation%2019%3A11-16&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">book<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Revelation%2020%3A11-&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Revelation<\/a> that Jesus will take the seat of judgment as the Supreme Judge of the world at the end of the age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jesus Christ is characterized as the judge of the world in the Bible\u2019s books of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew%2025%3A31-46&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John%205%3A22&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Acts%2017%3A31&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acts<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2%20Timothy%204%3A1&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2 Timothy<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Declaration concludes, \u201cAnd for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody, that\u2019s why we beat the British\u2026 our guys pledged to each other and to a higher power,\u201d Kirk said. \u201cWe are under that covenant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He exhorted, \u201cWe should be so grateful. We should be on our hands and knees kissing the ground and thanking God we get to live in this great nation, which is the inheritance, not of luck, not of chance, not of Buddhism, but the inheritance of courageous Christians who put everything on the line so we can live free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the closing chapter of my book, \u201cWe Hold These Truths,\u201d I go into some depth about how Kirk influenced American culture toward Jesus in multiple spheres of society.<\/p>\n<p>We should be grateful that he lived and put it all on the line to see the restoration of America back to God.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
