Evidence (2019-06-19): There is no evidence that Henry authored this statement. It actually comes from a 1956 article mentioning his Christian faith, published in “The Virginian” magazine.

Evidence (2019-05-13): Misattributed [edit]- I find that I can agree fully with my good friend Patrick Henry when he said it cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. - This is clearly spurious. The only published appearance of this attribution yet located is in Baking Recipes of Our Founding Fathers : Authentic Baking Recipes from the Wives and Mothers Of, & Trivia About, the Signers of the Declaration of Independence and Our Constitution (2004), by Robert W. Pelton, p. 213. As the "religionists" passage cited was not written until 1956, and was not misattributed to Henry until 1988, it is obvious that Rutledge (who died in 1800) can neither have said that he agreed with it nor attributed it to Henry.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Quote by Patrick Henry It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ! This quote asserts that the United States was not established by those who adhere to various religions, but specifically by Christians who were guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ. It highlights the belief that Christianity played a central role in the foundation of the nation, with its principles and values greatly influencing the American society and government. The quote emphasizes the significance of the gospel of Jesus Christ as the foundational basis for the country's establishment and continues to shape its identity.

Evidence (2015-10-13): All 250 founding fathers were Christians but 12. Of 56 signers of our Declaration of Independence, 37 had the 18th century equivalent of seminary degrees. [...] Patrick Henry said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ." [...] Our Christian heritage is attacked by atheists/secularists/humanists. They use the "myth of separation of church and state," which is not in our Constitution. They twist our First Amendment, which protects religious Americans "from" the government, "not" the government from God! It states government can’t establish a national religion (Church of England) or stop free expression of religion.

Evidence (2023-07-05): Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., came under fire online Tuesday evening after he posted an Independence Day tweet that included a false claim and a false quote. The self-proclaimed expert in manliness tweeted a quote he claimed to be from Patrick Henry, one of the nation's Founding Fathers and an enslaver best known for his "give me liberty or give me death" quote, that stated the country was founded on Christianity: "Patrick Henry: 'It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here,'" the tweet read.

Evidence (2010-04-05): There is an insidious campaign of false Propaganda being waged today, to the effect that our country is not a Christian country but a religious one-that it was not founded on Christianity but on freedom of religion. It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by 'religionists' but by Christians-not on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here. [...] In any case Patrick Henry never wrote the "religionists" quotation--he couldn't have. Both the language and history are wrong. A "religionist" in Patrick Henry's time was a person obsessed with religion, not a religious person, and "peoples of other faiths" would not be "afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here" until after Henry's time.

Evidence (2012-04-02): Finally, and perhaps most notoriously, is the spurious Henry quotation that "it cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!" Again, this is a perplexing case because Henry certainly was a devout Christian, but the quotation itself is of relatively recent origin. The quotation apparently came from a magazine commentary on Henry's faith in 1956, which later writers took as a quotation from Henry himself. Popular Christian historian David Barton once regularly used this statement in his writings and speeches, but he came under such fierce criticism that he retracted it (and others) as an "unconfirmed" source. The quotation still appears regularly in Facebook and Twitter posts, and, remarkably, in presidential aspirant Newt Gingrich's 2011 book A Nation Like No Other (p. 76). And this from the only candidate with a history Ph.D.!

Those comments included the "founded by Christians" statement now mistakenly attributed to Henry.

Evidence (2024-01-01): There has been much written, on both sides of the issue recently, about whether or not America was founded as a Christian nation. It is an issue that elicits passion, anger, frustration, and boisterous debate whenever it is brought up in conversation. This article will be a presentation of the evidence that would lead one to believe that a belief in God played a huge part in the formation of our country. All of the founding fathers may not have been Christians, but the record is unarguably clear, they definitely believed that faith in God was foundational to establishing and maintaining the new government. For a related article that I wrote last month see: Can America Rightly Be Called A Christian Nation? [...] Patrick Henry, a patriot of the Revolutionary period, said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!" (WIJHNBB, p. 67). How do those who deny that our nation had a Godly beginning ignore statements like this?

Evidence (2023-05-07): Sen Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is coming under fire for a Fourth of July tweet that managed to include both a false claim and a false quote at the same time. Hawley tweeted a quote he claimed to be from Founding Father Patrick Henry saying the United States was founded "on the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Just one problem: Henry ― a slave owner perhaps best remembered for his "give me liberty or give me death" quote ― never said it. It was late in the afternoon on the Fourth of July holiday when the Missouri Republican published this tweet — which, as of this morning, has not been taken down — with a purported quote from Patrick Henry, a prominent figure from late-18th century Virginia. "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ," the quote read. "For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."

Evidence (2024-09-18): Jefferson’s wall of separation between church and state clearly did not apply to a wall separating church and statesmen, for it was assumed by all that men of poor character could not govern. The unstated assumption beneath that was that character came from God, and faith, not from man’s own works. They spoke of character without ceasing: Alexander Hamilton stated that he would "willingly risk my life, though not my character, to exalt my station." But of course, Hamilton had gotten that training from a New Jersey minister, who funded his education. Jefferson wrote in his Bible, "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator." Jefferson, we might add, was the chairman of the American Bible Society. Patrick Henry, in 1776, stated, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."

Evidence (2020-04-10): Patrick Henry once said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!" Or at least many evangelicals believe Henry said that. It is actually a line from a 1956 magazine article commenting on Henry's faith, but popular Christian writers subsequently attributed the quote to Henry himself. The misquote stuck. Even though countless websites have debunked it, this bogus statement still routinely appears everywhere from Twitter to Facebook to books on America's founding, including presidential aspirant Newt Gingrich's A Nation Like No Other. And Gingrich has a Ph.D. in history! The eager reception of spurious quotes about our Christian origins is telling. It illustrates the fact that religion's role in the founding is among the most controversial historical debates in America today. Into that debate enters David Aikman's One Nation Without God? The Battle for Christianity in an Age of Unbelief (Baker). Did I not know Aikman, a longtime writer and reporter for Time magazine, who now teaches at Patrick Henry College, I might guess that the book would be the latest of many Christian titles lamenting how America is going down the spiritual tubes. But in Aikman's capable hands, the book turns out to be a wide-ranging, lively survey of the historical background and contemporary relevance of our Christian roots.

Evidence (2023-07-06): "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ," read the quote. "For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." As others were quick to note, Patrick Henry never said those words. Rather, as Willamette University professor Seth Cotlar pointed out, the quote appears to originate from a 1956 edition of The Virginian, a magazine known for espousing antisemitic and white nationalist views. [...] The quotes — which, unlike the original tweet, appear to be correctly attributed — promote a historical argument popular among purveyors of Christian nationalism that the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation.
