Combines religious insight, political critique and humor to challenge the misuse of Christianity in American politics, examining common claims through scripture and reason, urging readers across beliefs to reclaim faith from intolerance and advocate for compassion, equality and genuine church-state separation. - Simon and Schuster
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠In the spirit of George Carlin and Christopher Hitchens, the son of a former Catholic nun and a Franciscan brother delivers a deeply irreverent and biblically correct takedown of far-right Christian hatredâa book for believers, atheists, agnostics, and anyone whoâll ever have to deal with a Christian nationalist.
For more than two centuries, the United States Constitution has given us the right to a society where church and state exist independently. But Christianity has been hijacked by far-right groups and politicians who seek to impose their narrow views on government, often to justify oppressive and unequal policies. The extremists who weaponize the Bible for earthly power arenât actually on the side of Jesusâand historically they never have been. How do we fight back against those actingâliterallyâin bad faith?
Comedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang finally offers the answers. In this informative, perspective-shifting book, Fugelsang takes readers through common fundamentalist arguments on aborÂtion, immigration, LGBTQ rights, and moreâexposing their hypocrisy and inaccuracy through scripture, common sense, and deeply inappropriate humor. It offers practical tips on how to debate your loved one, coworker, or neighbor on the issues that divide us using that Bible they claim to follow.
But Fugelsangâs message is about more than just taking down hypocrites. Itâs about fighting for the love, mercy, and service that are supposed to make up the heart of Christianity. Told with Fugelsangâs trademark blend of radical honesty, comedy, and deep political and religious knowledge, Separation of Church and Hate is the book every American needs today. Itâs a rallying cry for compassion and clarity for anyone of any faith whoâs sick of religion being used as a cloaking device for hate.
