Despite having obtained only a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oral Roberts University in the 1970s, David Barton now routinely bills himself as “America’s premier historian” and has established a reputation as the Religious Right’s go-to “expert” for making the case that the Founding Fathers intended to establish America to be a Christian nation that operates according to the laws of God as set out in the Bible.
