American Rule: How a Nation Conquered the World But Failed Its People by Jared Yates Sexton

5.0

Required reading during these tumultuous political times, especially for theologian/clergy types. Writing from a secular perspective, Jared pulls back the curtain on the American mythos and the way Christianity has been exploited to form an American civil religion since the first days of the revolution.

He is also the only one so far that has offered an analysis of Trumpism that is both deep and convincing. He has his finger on the pulse of the fascism that is coursing its way through the country, and I'll be following him closely to see what he has to say in coming years.
