Why the religious right is wrong about separation of church & state [WorldCat Entities]

"Is the separation of church and state a "myth"? Was the United States founded as a "Christian nation"? If you believe the propaganda of the Religious Right, then the answer to both questions is an emphatic yes. To believe the propaganda, however, you must be ignorant of the facts of U.S. history and constitutional law. In Why the Religious Right Is Wrong about Separation of Church and State, award-winning Journalist Rob Boston lambastes the zealots of the Religious Right for spreading misinformation about the constitutional principle of the separation of church and state. He reveals how a band of ultraconservative religious groups with a political agenda - led primarily by televangelist Pat Robertson - is conducting a systematic war against separation of church and state. The tactics of these groups are designed to exploit unfounded fears and turn the American people against the separation principle. They will not rest, Boston says, until the United States has become a theocracy."
