The Founding Myth
Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American
Andrew L Seidel
This book delves into the debate about religion's role in America's founding, exploring whether the country was truly founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and whether the Ten Commandments serve as the basis for American law. The author, a constitutional attorney at the Freedom from Religion Foundation, presents a thoroughly researched case showing that Christian nationalism is un-American, and that the Bible contradicts the Declaration of Independence's central tenets. A must-read for anyone interested in the role of religion in American government.

Great review of a great book! RT @LAReviewofBooks: "Seidel has effectively exposed and unreservedly debunked the myth that America was founded as a Christian (or later Judeo-Christian) nation." Stephen Rohde on "The Founding Myth" (@SterlingBooks): – source
