The United States based its government from the Bible--specifically, God's plan of liberty and small, unrestrictive government as given to the Israelites through Moses. God freed the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, which was oppressive government that limited freedom, did not allow property ownership, called for submission to the Pharaoh, and generally kept the Israelites in poverty and in bondage to a godless system of immorality and brutality. America's Founding Fathers saw that the laws of God meant freedom for all, and reduced the need for intrusive and strong handed government because, as a nation comprised of Christians, the laws of God governed the hearts of the countrymen.
