Is a fight against equality and for privilege a fight for religious supremacy? A constitutional attorney dives into the debate on religious liberty, the modern attempt to weaponize religious freedom, and the Supreme Court' s role in that "crusade. " Critically acclaimed author and constitutional attorney Andrew L. Seidel looks at some of the key Supreme Court cases of the last thirty years-including Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (a bakery can deny making a wedding cake for a gay couple), Trump v. Hawaii (the anti-Muslim travel ban case), American Legion v. American Humanist Association (related to a group maintaining a 40-foot Christian cross on government-owned land), and Tandon v. Newsom (a Santa Clara Bible group exempted from Covid health restrictions)-and how a hallowed legal protection, freedom of religion, has been turned into a tool to advance privilege and impose religion on others. The book will include a foreword by noted constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky.
"Andrew Seidel provides an insightful, deeply researched, and well-written account. . . . Anyone who cares about the First Amendment--which should be everyone--must read this book. " --Windsor Mann, editor of The Quotable Hitchens "This book will soon become the go-to text helping Americans of any or no religious faith make sense of an ongoing crusade that is sure to reshape our society for generations to come. "--Andrew L. Whitehead, coauthor of Taking America Back for God "[A] brilliantly argued analysis. "--Ann Druyan, author of Cosmos: Possible Worlds "[A] must read for anyone hoping to understand our new political and cultural landscape. " --Jessica Mason Pieklo, coauthor of The End of Roe v Wade "Seidel' s meticulous research and persuasive argument will convince all doubters. " --Steven K. Green, author of Separating Church and State "[T]imely and poignant. . . . [Seidel makes] the depths of "legalese" accessible and engaging to the general public. " -- Library Journal
