Taking Liberties: Why Religious Freedom Doesn't Give You the Right to Tell Other People What to Do
by Robert Boston (Author)



“As a respected authority on church-state separation and culture-war issues, Rob Boston demonstrates an understanding of religious liberty that is sadly lacking among the God-fearing preachers and politicians of today’s religious Right. Taking Liberties is both entertaining and enlightening, a valuable resource for those who strive for sanity and reason in public policy.”
—David Niose, author of Nonbeliever Nation: The Rise of Secular Americans

"A valuable reminder of the importance of religious freedom in America’s past and present, and an eviscerating critique of attempts by the religious Right to use a false language of ‘religious liberty’ to undermine the very rights they pretend to support.”
—Katherine Stewart, author of The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children

Sounds like a book well worth reading!

I'm wondering if it might be worth it to by two books - one to keep and read, and the other - maybe… to leave somewhere. Like maybe the rectory of your nearest purportedly Christian church or Bible study group.

Or local GOP headquarters?
