One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America by Kevin M. Kruse
5.0
An outstanding book that clearly - and evenhandedly - lays out the argument that America is in fact NOT a Christian nation. The "Christian nation" belief was born out of a campaign called the Spiritual Mobilization, by very rich and influential ministers who were able to infiltrate the American political landscape and forever (thus far) change politics.
I think what surprised me most about this book is how UNbiased it was. The facts of what happened are simply laid out for the reader to decide for themselves how they feel and for me personally...I have never felt stronger about the further need for separation of church and state.
This book is eye opening, enthralling and often times angered me at how men with power will use their god and dogmatic rhetoric to satisfy their own selfish needs and line their pockets.
