Description
A bestselling and award-winning nonfiction book, Separation of Church and Hate takes a sharp, humorous, and thought-provoking look at the growing influence of Christian nationalism in American politics and culture.
Raised by a former Catholic nun and a Franciscan brother, comedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang brings a unique perspective to the conversation. With a mix of wit, honesty, and deep knowledge of both scripture and history, he challenges the way some political and religious figures use Christianity to promote division, exclusion, and intolerance.
Fugelsang explores some of today’s most debated issues—including immigration, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and religious freedom—examining how certain interpretations of the Bible are often used to support political agendas. Drawing on scripture, historical context, and plenty of humor, he highlights the gap between the teachings of Jesus and the actions of those who use religion as a tool for power.
More than a critique, this book is also a guide for meaningful conversations. It offers readers practical ways to discuss difficult topics with friends, family members, coworkers, and others who hold opposing views, while encouraging critical thinking and respectful dialogue.
At its core, Separation of Church and Hate is a passionate call to reclaim the values of compassion, mercy, empathy, and service that many believe lie at the heart of Christianity. Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, atheist, agnostic, or simply someone interested in the intersection of faith and politics, this engaging and accessible book invites readers to question, reflect, and stand against the use of religion as a justification for hate.
