Author(s): Michelle Goldberg

Current Affairs & Politics

Taking the reader on a journey through a country in the grips of a fevered religious radicalism, Michelle Goldberg demonstrates how the growing influence of dominionism - the doctrine that Christians have the right to rule non-believers - is threatening the foundations of American democracy. She offers the powerful testimony of "regular" Americans to illustrate the subversive effect of this conservative stranglehold, and she urges Americans to turn their attention to the mechanisms of an insidious fundamentalism opposed to science, pluralism and reason.
