Was America actually founded as a Christian nation?
In this episode of Cult of Odd, we uncover the long-ignored truth hiding in the Treaty of Tripoli—the 1797 document where the U.S. government made it crystal clear: “The Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
Join Odd Man and Gremlin as they unpack the history, dismantle the modern myth, and ask why Article 11 is still being buried in 2025.
Featuring sarcastic breakdowns, pirate diplomacy, a Monster Energy-fueled listener letter, and a dystopian fake ad for FreedomBox™.
It’s part history class, part exorcism. And yes, it’s all legally binding.
