How the Republicans Stole Religion

the long version

For decades, Press argues, conservatives have defined religion so narrowly that Democrats and liberals have been pushed outside the fold. According to their narrow gospel, God put George W. Bush in the White House to deal with gays, guns, and abortion--and those who don't agree are on the sure road to hell. How the Republicans Stole Religion is Press's fervent call for the left to reclaim religion and return it to its basic principles of social justice, charity, and tolerance.From the Trade Paperback edition.
