Excellent pick! The author brings to life many people folks may have forgotten or don’t know, but greatly influenced U.S. Its greatest achievement is to systematically dismantle the WALLBUILDER, lies creeping into American Christianity. It could save Christianity from itself. https://twitter.com/candysmith74/status/1249242690811645952

It also does an excellent job of reminding U.S. how unique we are; No national religion: religious freedom. The Enlightenment ideas our Founders embraced. Seidel discusses the philosophers whose ideals the Founders modeled into our institutions;laws...

Rousseau, Locke, Hume.

There is so much more, discussion of our Founder’s religious beliefs, influences. English common law influences.

I began this thread as the book was described “atheistic”,polysemous thus statement meaningless. If one likes
in depth details of United States’ history: great book!
