The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, yet the nation’s founding is controversial now in ways it has not been in decades. In the third symposium of AEI’s “We Hold These Truths: America at 250” project, scholars of American history, law, and theology will consider how religion shaped the American Revolution. Many who fought for independence understood the cause as a fundamentally spiritual struggle, one with enormous implications for religion’s future in American civil society.
Exploring the ways in which the founding generation understood religious freedom and worked to balance protections for diverse religious communities with the rights of individual conscience illuminates the commitment to liberty at the heart of the American project.
