WallBuilders is an organization founded by Republican Party activist and self-proclaimed historian David Barton for the purpose of "educating the nation concerning the Godly foundation of our country." Barton and his work are routinely cited by those on the Right who claim that the United States was founded by Christian men on explicitly Christian principles.

* Overview
WallBuilders was founded by David Barton, a former Christian school teacher in Texas who has carved out a lucrative niche for himself by promoting the idea that the United States was founded to be a “Christian nation.”
Named by Time magazine as one of the most 25 influential evangelicals, Barton uses WallBuilders, which has both for-profit and non-profit arms, to attack mainstream history, insisting that church-state separation was not the intention of our Founders.
Wallbuilders publishes and distributes a number of Barton’s books and videos that Barton says promote accurate history, although mainstream historians have scored his work and pointed out that he has no credentials as a historian. Nevertheless, Barton’s pseudo-documentaries often appear on public access and Christian television, and he gives speeches and seminars around the country.
Why the name "WallBuilders"?
In the Old Testament book of Nehemiah, the nation of Israel rallied together in a grassroots movement to help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and thus restore stability, safety, and a promising future to that great city. We have chosen this historical concept of "rebuilding the walls" to represent allegorically the call for citizen involvement in rebuilding our nation's foundations. As Psalm 11:3 reminds us, "If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?"

Mate I take great care to go thru non-biased news so I only use Yahoo news or google news/ reuters/ AFP. Anything else is a NO NO. I don't want to break this rule of mine now.
