“One Nation Under God” is a painting by Jon McNaughton. If you visit his website, you can read his motivation for painting this piece, and you can use your mouse to hover over sections of the painting to get an explanation regarding its meaning. For example, when I placed the mouse cursor over the red sash worn by Jesus, I got the following:

His histroy is right, however, most of the founding fathers were diests and didn't believe in a specific religion. Also, several of the founding fathers deeply believed in seperation of church and state after thier experiences with the English Church. Interesting painting but a bit overdone and inaccurate with the religious tones.
Ok first off at the very most 2 Founders were diests!! Study history bro. Second the seperation of church and state was not to keep the church out of government but the government out of the church. Just look at every other law in the Constitution. It keeps the government out of people's homes, papers, assemblies, press, etc.
I recommend sties like Wallbuilders, American Vision, Vision America, etc.
Please for the Love of God really study American History before you go commenting on it!! Sorry Big Daddy Geeding….it's a soap box of mine.
This is appalling. It would be a funny joke if it weren't so divisive, inaccurate, and self righteous. Yikes. It's hard for me to believe that this type of ignorance still exists!
Understanding freedom and free agency as eternal law is essential to the appreciation of this painting. It reinforces my belief that the Constitution was divinely inspired.
The Constitution was not created by God or Christ, but it upholds the principle of freedom like nothing ever created by man to date.
Anybody got the guts to do that to a Muslim painting?
I guess you are talking about the changes somebody did to the painting by adding blood and changing Jesus to the devil among other changes..
Enter text right here!Not true, most were not diests. This is propaganda floated by leftist progressives. As far as the founding fathers believing in separation of church and state, this is also false. the believed in freedom of religion and the separation of the church from the state. Another words, the state would not form its own church as England did. the writing of the founding fathers completely contadict everyting you have written
Have you read Thomas Jefferson?? And by the way , I don't believe in the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus or some being in the sky.
Why is it every time someone does something related to GOD there are always those who must find fault. It's time we get back to God. Can't you see the signs of the times. Read your Bible.
there is nothing reverend about you mr….it can only be divisive if you think there is any other God but the Great I Am….the ignorance is all on your part…this great Nation was founded on Godly principles and the Bible….maybe you should study your history….i would be in your church only as long as it took you to say one sentence….you sound like jerimiah wright who also thinks hes a re. God has other thoughts on you two and the rest of your ilk…
Yikes buddy! I think you've just proved my point.
first off i'm not your buddy ..i am a lady and a Bible following Christian….we have been the most prosperous nation on earth due to our Godly principles and now we are falling apart due to leaving God behind…thank madeleine o'hara for the beginning of the end for our nation and now the atheist want to put their 2 cents in to further the decline and God will turn us over to a third world nation since that seems to be what we are asking for….you must be a liberal kid with all the yikes stuff….grow up and be the rev. that you propose you are…
Hi Earlene,
I'm sitting here thinking about the best way to respond to this… I wish we could meet in person and get a cup of coffee and have conversation.
Maybe we'll be able to do that together one day in eternity!
Until then, I think you and I will have to "agree to disagree" on the nature of God's relationship with the U.S.A.
Grace and peace,
Nathan
