Seidel, an attorney at the Freedom from Religion Foundation, answers this persistent question once and for all, comparing the Ten Commandments to the Constitution and contrasting biblical doctrine with America's founding philosophy. This persuasively argued and fascinating book proves that Christian nationalism is, in fact, un-American. --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 277.307 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 277.307 SEIDEL Checked In Add Copy to MyList
