longer introduction from Legendary Times Books: . . . . http://www.legendarytimesbooks.com/baptizing-of-america-the-the-religious-rights-plans-for-the-rest-of-us.html “Here, at last, are the war plans of America's own religious extremists. The Baptizing of America exposes the systematic campaign by Christian fundamentalists to co-opt and take over every “room” of American society from the bedroom to the school room, hospital room, operating room, courtroom, work room, reading room and newsroom. This book focuses on the aggressive and well-funded war currently being led by fundamentalist Christians to “baptize America.” It is a prolonged battle that will determine whether the United States remains a spiritually vital country - but one without an officially established religion - or whether it will become “Christianized,” a “faith-based nation” in which fundamentalist Christianity will be the sole legal dominant religion throughout the land. The war will decide whether America follows the path of many other nations and becomes a theocracy, not unlike Iran and the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Excerpt: "A specter is haunting America, and it is not socialism and most certainly not communism. It is the specter of Americans kneeling in submission to a particular interpretation of religion that has become an ideology, an all-encompassing way of life. It is the specter of our nation ruled by the Extreme Christian Right, who would make the United States a 'Christian Nation' where their version of God's law supersedes all human law - including the Constitution. That, more than any other force in the world today, is the immediate and profound threat to our republic." see also: . . . .
