Flannery OConnorI think it is safe to say that while the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted.
About This Quote
In our world today, many people make the assumption that South is a Christian country. However, it is very true that the region is filled with tradition and heritage from its deeply religious past. In fact, a great portion of the Bible was written by south-of-the-border authors, and the region has a long tradition of churchgoing. However, despite this, many have come to view the South as being less Christ-centered than it is, especially when it comes to political decisions.
Truly, it would be hard to find another country as heavily influenced by Christianity as the United States. In fact, most of the founders of our nation were very religious people who saw God as a Christian figure. It’s no wonder so many people from the region have been so instrumental in establishing Christianity’s historical influence on our nation and culture.
