{"product_id":"9781633880245","title":"God and Government : Twenty-Five Years of Fighting for Equality, Secularism, and Freedom of Conscience","description":"\u003cp\u003eA central player in every major church-state-separation battle for decades, the Rev. Barry W. Lynn understands the complexities of this divisive issue like few others. As a long-time activist, a civil rights lawyer, and an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, he offers a unique perspective and a wealth of experience on church-state controversies. In this lively book, he has compiled his writings from various sources to explore in depth the many ways religious extremists have attempted to erode individual liberties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe topics range from publicly-promoted prayer to efforts to undermine public education and replace it with taxpayer-subsidized vouchers for religious schools, interfering with end-of-life and reproductive rights, censorship, and belligerence directed against nonbelievers and minorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLynn concludes that the ultimate goal of these extremist forces-consisting mainly of the Protestant Religious Right and the Roman Catholic hierarchy-is the creation of a corporate theocracy, a decidedly undemocratic system of government in which nonconservative Christians, along with humanist, feminists, and the LGBTQ community, are relegated to second-class status in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prometheus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48987470430443,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":34.79,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781633880245-1.jpg?v=1785761636","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781633880245","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
