The author is the head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. In this book, he recounts several decades of battles, head-to-head, with right-wing "luminaries" from the late Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson to Ann Coulter (who said he should be blamed, personally, for 9/11). But the book is not just a series of anecdotes. It examines in detail why the Religious Right is so wrong about religion in schools, sound science, library censorship, the Bush "faith based initiative", same-sex marriage, and womens' rights.
