American Crusade

De: Andrew L Seidel

Narrado por: Andrew L Seidel, Lee Osario

Is a fight against equality and for privilege a fight for religious supremacy? Andrew L. Seidel, a constitutional attorney and author of the critically acclaimed book The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American, dives into the debate on religious liberty, the modern attempt to weaponize religious freedom, and the Supreme Court's role in that “crusade.”

Seidel examines some of the key Supreme Court cases of the last thirty years—including Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (a bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple), Trump v. Hawaii (the anti-Muslim travel ban case), American Legion v. American Humanist Association (related to a group maintaining a 40-foot Christian cross on government-owned land), and Tandon v. Newsom (a Santa Clara Bible group exempted from Covid health restrictions), as well as the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade—and how a hallowed legal protection, freedom of religion, has been turned into a tool to advance privilege and impose religion on others. This is a meticulously researched and deeply insightful account of our political landscape with a foreword provided by noted constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, author of The Case Against the Supreme Court.

The issue of church versus state is more relevant than ever in today’s political climate and with the conservative majority status of the current Supreme Court. This book is a standout on the shelf for fans of Michelle Alexander, Bob Woodward, and Christopher Hitchens. Listeners looking for critiques of the rise of Christian nationalism, like Jesus and John Wayne, and examinations like How Democracies Die will devour Seidel's analysis.

Clear Eyeed Outline of Eminent Threat to U.S. Democracy.

Well laid out analysis of threats to American rights from a quarter that many Americans don't realize. An alarm well sounded.

Stop the crusade

Stop the Robert’s court and rebalance America freedom for all. The supreme court is no longer a watchdog for all Americans. They are a political tool of Christian , supremest ,crusading bigots. Wake up before all your rights are trashed, no matter what you believe, this nonsense will come to get you eventually

Important information

This should concern everyone. The need of personal freedom that doesn’t infringe on others is the fabric we live in. We should all be educated about the direction our country is headed.

Truly Terrifying!!!

I felt this book was well researched and presented in a manner that is easy to understand. But, this is the stuff of nightmares. If you care about human rights and actual freedom, not the garbage that these Crusaders package as “freedom” then we are in serious trouble. And when you think, ‘oh, we can just fix this at the ballot box,’ the truth is no, we can’t. SCOTUS is so absolutely powerful that it doesn’t matter how many moderates or progressives we elect, the country has become at far right, extremist regime and it is only going to get worse. Buckle up.

It's happening right before our eyes!

Wow! SO much presented here. Such a deep-dive into the Supreme Court and it's tangled web of putting Christian doctrine above all else! Fascinating! Devastating! A must-listen book!

What Every American Needs to Know

Constitutional Attorney Andrew Seidel takes you on a trip through American History, showing case by case, how the rights of Americans were slowly stripped in unjust jurisprudence, He tragically details the long downward spiral toward Christian Nationalism- serves as the perfect pair to his previous book 'The Founding Myth'. I found the first book made me fall in love and feel genuine patriotism for the ideals America was supposed to be built upon, before 'American Crusade' shows the forces that have actively gutted those ideals- root and stem. Seidel is level in tone, sound in logic, he never reaches to find his conclusions, and unfortunately, shows how little the gap between these awful things has been. A must read for every American.
