When Moses brought the people of Israel out of Egypt, they didn't simply "worship another god" when Moses was on the mountain. They did that, true, but the manner of their idolatry was a re-writing of history. Nowadays, our professors, along with some Christians, point to a secular basis and say, "Americans, behold thy gods that brought thee out of the land of Britain!" That is just one example of many.
| Good point; there is no neutrality in historiography.
