The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American by Andrew L. Seidel
4.0
A very un-fun read, but a book I probably highlighted more than any other.
How much did the Founders rely on religion to found America in her infancy? As Seidel explores in this book, not at all. The arguments used by "Judeo-Christian" proponents (a misnomer) have no historical basis, as most were fabricated later with bias and goals. He uses extensive sources, and, as written by a constitutional lawyer, it has easy to follow arguments that show Christian Nationalism is un-American.
