Faith of our Fathers

Faith of Our Fathers is a fascinating documentary film that takes a look at the founding fathers of the United States and what they intended when they framed the Constitution and wrote the First Amendment religion clauses. Were Thomas Jefferson and the other founders of our country trying to create a Christian nation, a secular paradise, or something wholly different?

This documentary takes a look at changes in our understanding of church and state relations over time due to Supreme Court decisions and cultural pressures. From Everson vs. Board of Education to the most recent decisions over displays of the Ten Commandments, such interpretations are explored in comparison to our nation's founders' original intentions.
