No, we don't, Steve. Radical revisionist Christians try to reinterpret our history in terms of a sacred compact, the Mormons also believe that of their "New Zion" and perhaps the Puritans had similar conceits but, on the whole, our founders believed that they were creating a nation on the rather secular principles of the Enlightenment.

Only Israelis and some religious Jews in other parts of the world insist that their "Promised Land" is a direct gift from God.
