American Crusade
How the Supreme Court Is Weaponizing Religious Freedom
Book • 2022
In 'American Crusade', Andrew L. Seidel examines key Supreme Court cases over the last thirty years, including cases like 'Masterpiece Cakeshop v.
Colorado Civil Rights Commission', 'Trump v.
Hawaii', and the recent overturning of 'Roe v. Wade'.
Seidel argues that the Supreme Court has turned the protection of religious freedom into a tool to impose Christian privilege and undermine the separation of church and state.
The book is a meticulously researched and deeply insightful account of the current political landscape, emphasizing the dangers of Christian nationalism and the importance of maintaining a secular government to protect true religious liberty.
