“Treason doth never prosper, what is the reason? For if it doth prosper, none dare call it treason. ”

What does this famous saying mean?

It means hat if bad and corruption prospers, even if treasonous, it will continue to prosper as long as it’s not called what it is…treason.  That’s why we must call a spade a spade, and treason is treason.  Without being a respecter of persons.  Ovid was right.

Also, is America originally a Christian Nation in the sense of the majority of its citizens and its foundations?

First – where this famous saying came from…

The Prologue to Wycliffe Translation of the Holy Bible, written in the year 1384  said:

“The Bible is for the Government of the people, by the people, and for the people”

That should answer the second question as well.

Any other questions?
