Very interesting take on religion and the human mind

From video "The Founders understood, No God No Freedom. No God no Small gov't"

The founders understood their day and age and that they couldn't sell any idea without putting God in front of it. You shouldn't read more deeply than that.

I'm sympathetic to the idea of no God no freedom. Can freedom only be established with God? Probably not. But has it been established only with God? Pretty much, yeah.

The revolutionary idea that sparked freedom was that humans are made in the image of God and that gives them inalienable rights that supersede royalty, the state, or any other human intervention. Without that idea, well, history suggests we get manifestos that lead to things like communism. I'm not saying it's impossible to establish and grow freedom without God, but using God is how it happened historically and using God appears to be the practical way it happens in the human world.
