5🌟 I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels like they are the only one in the country who still believes in the separation of church and state, cultural diversity, or that Christians have never ruled the entire country (let alone the entire world). If, like me, the madness around you and the flames of anger being fanned by Christians around you is making you ask tough, uncomfortable questions, this is a book for you. (cont‘d below)

GingerAntics Really, this is a book that should be required reading for every American. It should be turned into a children‘s book and a young adult book and covered multiple times throughout the K-12 years. I can‘t help imagining how different our nation would be, right now and in general, if more people knew the true history of this nation. #onenationundergods #petermanseau #history #whyhistorymatters #whystemdoesnthavealltheanswers 6y
GingerAntics If you cling to the idea that America is a Christian nation and we need to get back to being a Christian nation and be the City on the Hill or God will punish us with more hurricanes, wild fires, tornadoes, and other natural disasters (or you hold the extreme belief that God punished us with 9/11) you will be HIGHLY offended by this book and absolutely should not read it because it will rather aggressively try to remove your head from the sand.

As per his reputation, Obama is the hope at the end of the book for the future of America.

This is usually a good thing. To each their own and all, but I think this is also how we got MAGA. It certainly seems to be something of a cult, with a great pumpkin deity.

Burghbookaddict I think hes more of a tangerine personally 6y
GingerAntics @BurghBookAddict I think the best description I‘ve heard is “Mango Mussolini.” 6y
Burghbookaddict @GingerAntics Ooh thats a good one! 😂 6y
GingerAntics @BurghBookAddict right? I had a few favourites until I heard that one. Now it‘s the only one I use. It‘s just perfect. Especially since he stole Mussolini‘s tag line. 6y

Because the supposedly Christian guy we have now is just the antithesis of materialism and dictatorship. Uh-huh. Right. 🙄 I‘m sorry, but some of the most legalistic/dictatorial and materialistic people I know are devout Christians. Jesus is not the magic pill that makes that stuff go away. In fact, it‘s these very people who loosed Christmas (and all it‘s materialism) on the world.

ravenlee Ugh. 6y
GingerAntics @ravenlee I don‘t do shoving down people‘s throats or forcing religion on people. I find it disgusting. It is not a political tool, it‘s a personal choice and expression. 6y

Welcome to America, where even in death, crazy Christians will force Christianity on you, because they don‘t want to see anything else in the world. 🙄

GingerAntics How come the sane people aren‘t ever in power? There are perfectly decent Christian people, Jewish people, Buddhist people, Islamic people, Atheists, Agnostics, Pagans, people who believe in a world of other things, people who believe in nothing at all. Yet, it‘s always the extremist, revisionist crazies that are in office. What‘s up with that?! 6y
ravenlee Is this worth reading? Or is it too frustrating? 6y
GingerAntics @ravenlee honestly, I‘m quite enjoying it. It completely debunks the idea that American is or ever was a Christian nation. It‘s well researched. It‘s well written. I have a few minor complaints, but for the most part I‘m actually really enjoying it. It definitely speaks to where we are now politically and that it‘s not new. In that sense it‘s a little frustrating because people are still buying into 200 year old BS. 6y

ravenlee It sounds interesting. I‘ll have to see if my library has it. Thanks! 6y
GingerAntics @ravenlee Ultimately, it‘s an interesting look at all the different religions, philosophies, and beliefs that have always been here, even though some people are greatly invested in making you believe non-Christians are new in America. I greatly enjoyed the part about how most people in the colonies and early America were completely indifferent to religion. I‘d suggest giving it a shot. It might not be your cup of tea, but it‘s worth the shot. 6y
ravenlee It‘s probably right up my alley. A couple weeks ago I was following a friend of mine “educating” people on a FBook thread for local TV about the non-Christian roots of Christmas; which segued into why America is not and never was a Christian nation. It was awesome. All I needed was popcorn. 6y

I am greatly enjoying this book!!! The evidence it brings into play is thought provoking. I also rather like his writing style. Its not too academic, but you never question if he‘s done his homework on this thing.

I think we need to actually study our founding fathers and not the mythology that has risen up about them. They are all rolling over in their graves right now at the way “true Americans” are behaving.

GingerAntics @Bklover thanks for that. In some ways, I‘m waiting to digitally be burned at the stake over here. lol For some people, to say that America is not a Christian nation is to deny the very existence of God himself. 6y
Bklover I get it! ❤️ 6y

250+ years and not much has changed. Wait, nothing has changed. Most people want the separation of church and state, yet the loudest group are the Christians willing to do anything to silence people who are not Christians. At least they‘ve (mostly) taken the death penalty out of the equation.

GingerAntics I promise, this is my last one for a while. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Don‘t make those promises, good books are meant to be shared...a lot!👍 6y
GingerAntics @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 🤣😂🤣 don‘t worry, I just needed some time in a slightly less depressing story. 6y
