Crucifying America: the unholy alliance between the Christian Right and Wall Street

Crucifying America is a terrifying examination of how the partnership between corporate money and the Christian Right is taking control of the nation, one state legislature, and one Governor's mansion at a time. With the backing of hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate money, the Christian Right has become the main strain of the Republican Party. This pro-corporate religious driven agenda is transforming America's secular state into a tyrannical plutocratic sponsored theocracy.

This unholy alliance has ushered in economic policies that have not only destroyed the middle class, but also allowed corporations to eliminate labor protection laws; destroy public education; repeal public safety nets; and pollute the environment, while allowing the Christian Right to mount crusades against science, gays, immigrants, Muslims, women, atheists, and secularists.

For atheists and progressives, this book is an inoculation shot against the drug of gradualism.
