Looking at the Americans who believed in these gods, Manseau fills in America's story of itself, from the persecuted "witches" at Salem and who they really were, to the persecuted Buddhists in WWII California, from spirituality and cults in the '60s to the recent presidential election where both candidates were for the first time non-traditional Christians.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 200.973 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 200.973 Manseau Checked In Add Copy to MyList
