- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book to understand how the religious Right impacts America Politics
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5While I may not agree with everything in this book, the facts are clearly undeniable. This book opened my eyes to things I was completely ignorant of. I highly recommend it to everyone who considers themselves a "Christian" because it may not mean what you thought.
