Lafayette's Legacy, Washington's Cologne & Is America a Christian Nation | 07-31-26

Sam and Dr. Scott Bradley kick off with a surprising history lesson: today marks the anniversary of Lafayette's 1777 commission as a major general, plus the strange true story of George Washington's personal cologne and its link to Lafayette. They then dig into the founders' faith, tackling a Supreme Court justice's controversial comment questioning whether America is a Christian nation, and unpack Jefferson's personal beliefs, the true meaning of the First Amendment, and how a godless humanist civil religion has replaced the nation's founding principles.
