Is America a Creedal Nation?

All civilizations, like all individuals, have flaws. The Christian civilization of Church and empire had flaws. America, which began as a refuge from the religious wars of Europe, has its flaws. Just as individuals can flourish despite their flaws, so can civilizations, if they look at their flaws squarely and work to mitigate them. Jews have flourished for 3,500 years, and heaven knows we have our flaws, as Moses and the prophets never ceased to remind us. The American republic can flourish despite its flaws.
