Thanksgiving in America has been associated with the Christian faith in America. I just finished reading Newt Gingrich’s “The Real Meaning of Thanksgiving.” The extremely poignant point Newt makes is that Thanksgiving is about religion. George Washington made the first Thanksgiving proclamation and Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving an official annual holiday in America. Yes, that is correct – Thanksgiving is a religious holiday based on Christianity sanctioned by the secular United States government.
