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.

This provocative book challenges the idea that science has nothing to say about human values. Author Sam Harris argues that we can use our understanding of the human brain to establish right and wrong answers to questions of morality. As we learn more about the world, we can use science to live the best lives possible. Harris asserts that moral relativism is false and that religion has no place in determining human values. A must-read for anyone interested in philosophy and neuroscience.
