Book description
A deeply irreverent and Biblically correct takedown of the far-right and their co-opting of religion, and guide to engaging them in effective conversational combat, in the spirit of Bill Maher and Christopher Hitchens.For over two centuries, the United States constitution has given us the right to live in a society where church and state exist independently, and without conflict. So why is it that, suddenly, Christianity is being co-opted by far-right groups, politicians, friends, and family members to justify oppressive and unequal policies? And how do we fight back against those acting-literally-in bad faith? Separation of Church and Hate, a new and critical book from comedian and TV and radio host John Fugelsang-who himself is the child of a former Catholic nun and Franciscan brother-finally offers the answers. In this informative, perspective-shifting guide, Fugelsang takes readers through common talking points and arguments-God condemns abortion, gay marriage is a sin, guns are an ordained right, and more-and exposes their hypocrisy and overall inaccuracy through scripture, philosophy, and plain old common sense. Told with Fugelsang's trademark blend of radical honesty, relevant humor, and deep political and religious knowledge, Separation of Church and Hate is the book every American today needs. It is a return to civility, a rallying cry for compassion and clarity, and a reclamation of the values and truths we hold dear, for anyone who was raised Christian but has become disillusioned with organized religion; for Democrats, progressives, liberals, and moderates who are tired of the right wing pretending to own Christianity; for atheists, agnostics, and any one of any faith who's sick of the fundamentalists using religion as a cloaking device for hate; for everyone who's realized you don't necessarily need organized religion to be a good person.
