By Michael Snyder

In his groundbreaking new book, Sensational Religion, Michael Snyder exposes the hidden agenda of the religious right. He shows how they are using fear, ignorance, and intolerance to undermine our democracy and our way of life.

Snyder argues that the religious right is not simply a group of people who believe in a particular set of religious doctrines. Rather, it is a political movement that is using religion to advance its own agenda.

This agenda includes:

Theocracy: The religious right wants to establish a theocracy in the United States, a government based on religious law.
Christian nationalism: The religious right wants to make the United States a Christian nation, where Christianity is the official religion and all other religions are marginalized or suppressed.
White supremacy: The religious right is closely aligned with white supremacists. They share a common belief in the superiority of the white race and a desire to maintain white supremacy.

Snyder shows how the religious right is using a variety of tactics to advance its agenda, including:

Fear-mongering: The religious right uses fear-mongering to scare people into supporting their agenda. They claim that the United States is under attack from liberals, atheists, and Muslims.
Ignorance: The religious right relies on ignorance to keep people from understanding their true agenda. They spread misinformation and disinformation about the religious right and its goals.
Intolerance: The religious right is intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them. They attack and vilify their opponents, and they try to silence them.

Snyder argues that the religious right is a serious threat to our democracy and our way of life. He calls on us to resist their agenda and to fight for the values of pluralism, tolerance, and equality.

Sensational Religion is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the rise of the religious right. It is a powerful and timely exposé that will open your eyes to the dangers that we face.
