A resurfaced video of Charlie Kirk pushing back against the woke left’s tired attempts to downplay Christianity and make America a more secular – and historically illiterate – nation highlighted what a loss the country suffered at the hands of a sniper’s bullet. Kirk brilliantly dissected the traditional progressive argument with a stunning grasp of facts and logic.
“Charlie Kirk understood the need for Christianity as our nation’s core,” wrote Jack Posobiec on X, where he shared the almost minute-and-a-half clip. In the video, Kirk was responding to a caller on his eponymous, daily podcast who suggested America wasn’t a Christian nation because “the Declaration [of Independence] only refers to God four times and the Constitution doesn’t refer to God at all.”
Kirk’s retort was instantaneous and devastatingly effective. “So first of all, remember that we were a collection of states and colonies, and you need to read the state constitutions before anything else,” he began, before noting individual colonies did indeed emphasize and demand a Christian ethic. “Thirteen out of thirteen required a declaration of faith in almost every single one of the original state constitutions. They had, I profess Lord and Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.”
Kirk continued by pointing out the Biblical roots of the most elemental aspects of America’s core principles. “Secondly, 55 out of 56 of the original signers of the Declaration were Bible believing, church attending. Christians. You asked about common law. Let’s go to three principles of common law, presumption of medicines, due process and jury of your peers, all three are biblical principles so and all wrapped into the ultimate biblical principle that you shall not favor justice if you are rich or rapport, which is in Leviticus 19, which is the idea of blind justice, which is incorporated also in the New Testament, ideal, neither slave nor Greek nor Jew, you are all one in Jesus Christ, as you read, the idea of human equality. These are all biblical ideas,” he went on.
“But more importantly than that, they say that God was only mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence. Well, that’s a big deal,” he added, before again highlighting the underpinnings of the entire founding documents. “John Adams seamlessly said the Constitution was only written for a moral and religious people. It was wholly inadequate for the people of any other the body politic of America was so Christian that our form and structure of government was built for the people that believed in Christ, our Lord.”
“One of the reasons we’re living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have a Christian nation, but we have a Christian form of government, and they’re incompatible. So you cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population,” he finished.

Comments under the video likewise emphasized how much Charlie is missed. “I miss Charlie so much. Every day I wake up thinking about him. I need him so much right now,” one user wrote. “Thank you for posting Charlie Kirk so we can hear from him directly. Still makes me sad he is gone from his family but knowing he is in heaven makes all the difference. What a special man,” said another.
