Liberia: Getting Back to the Founding Faith

A controversial clergy-led campaign to officially return Liberia to its Christian heritage has sparked debate in the West African nation.

Liberia was founded under the "blessings of the Christian religion" by freed American slaves in 1847, but became a secular state following a 1980 military coup and subsequent civil war. In April, an international tribunal convicted former president Charles Taylor, once supported by Pat Robertson, of crimes against humanity.

Today a group of pastors called the Liberia Restoration to Christian Heritage Committee has stirred up popular momentum to add Christianity back to the constitutionâ€”similar to Zambia, a "Christian nation" since 1996.

Apparently the majority of nominal Christian leaders know this is a bad idea.

You can make a nation Christian by fiat anymore than you can a fellow Christian by his parents naming him "Jesus."
