Grand Canyon University Enlightenment Ideals and The Great Awakening Discussion

 

I don’t understand this History question and need help to study.

(1) There is a belief that the United States is a “Christian Nation.” Based on the founding documents and the prevalent Enlightenment ideals of the 18th century, how could this argument be supported or opposed?

(2) How did the Great Awakening challenge the authority of the established churches? What role did this play in planting the seeds for the Revolution? How did the challenging of religious authority lead to the challenging of political authority?
