A constitutional attorney dives into the debate about religion\u2019s role in America\u2019s founding.<br>\u00a0<br>In today\u2019s contentious political climate, understanding religion\u2019s role in American government is more important than ever. Christian nationalists assert that our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and advocate an agenda based on this popular historical claim. But is this belief true? The Founding Myth answers the question once and for all. Andrew L. Seidel, a constitutional attorney at the Freedom from Religion Foundation, builds his case point by point, comparing the Ten Commandments to the Constitution and contrasting biblical doctrine with America\u2019s founding philosophy, showing that the Bible contradicts the Declaration of Independence\u2019s central tenets. Thoroughly researched, this persuasively argued and fascinating book proves that America was not built on the Bible and that Christian nationalism is, in fact, un-American.Trim x 9 Inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Goodreads.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to readKindle $10.49 Rate this book Andrew L.
