Have you read something about free will being foundational to American individualism?It’s true that Christianity greatly impacted the principles upon which this nation was founded. I don’t think individualism would have evolved socially without the principles of free will at its foundation. Notwithstanding Calvinism, the idea of free will helped pave the way to its logical conclusion, which is individualism. For that I’m thankful for the development of Christianity as it matured. In that sense there is a secular value to Christianity that many atheists overlook. And that’s the important contribution of Judaeo-Christian principles.
