In an increasing dissonance of haughty misinformation about our religous liberties this book is a haven of rest and reflexive thought. Author Barry Lynn tackles with ease the burning questions of the hour. Do your kids have the right to pray in school? Why is the effect of school vouchers so difficult to define? Did the founding fathers really say we can have freedom only if we're religious? With the religious right making people think that their rights are being done away with, this book is a must have. My daughter prays @ school before her meals each day, and no one disturbs her. School vouchers only seem good for our kids, the fact is, vouchers would take much needed funding out of our schools when they need it most. In the ruling on Santa Fe,the supreme court isn't curtailing any rights previously held by the people. This book answers these questions in a clear and systematic fashion. If you visit the websites of most religious rights groups, you'll see that they admit what they're not willing to say in public: Our religious liberties are NOT UNDER ATTACK (visit the FAQ section of 'religiousliberty.com', maintained by religious right groups and see for yourself). To stay on top of the issues, read this book. The information and counsel is undeniable. Maybe that's why religious right leaders absolutely dislike debating Barry Lynn on TV.
