Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American

The first thing I'll say about Andrew Seidel's The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American is that it's sad it had to be written. To many of us, the founding of the United States as a secular nation seems so basic and incontrovertible a fact it's hard to imagine that it must be argued. And yet it increasingly has to be, as Christian nationalism—the idea that the United States was founded as a Christian nation—continues to grow as a real force in America.
