essinink 's review for:
Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics
by Ross Douthat
Read this book as part of a class on "The History of Religion in America."
The key to understanding this book is the knowledge that A. Douthat is Catholic, and that informs his viewpoint, and B. small "o" orthodox christians believe in an objective truth.
With some minor exceptions, Douthat hits the nail on the head. I found it to be an interesting and enlightening book. More importantly, it provides a perspective not often seen in newsrooms or casual conversation.
