One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America by Kevin M. Kruse

4.0

It's very disorienting to read about the 1950's creation of the justifications for a Christian America that are still being parroted today to push antiquated and cruel laws. Prayer and religion being too personal and too sacred to be reduced and sanitized down for use in government instructions is something I can really sympathize with and understand. It struck me as the most powerful argument against a union between government and religion. Unfortunately most Americans seem to vehemently disagree yet would melt down if they were forced to merely witness the word "Allah" on any sort of official government document let alone on our currency or in our pledge. I now have an overwhelming urge to join the Satanic Temple.
