NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In the spirit of George Carlin and Christopher Hitchens the son of
a former Catholic nun and a Franciscan brother delivers a deeply irreverent and biblically
correct takedown of far-right Christian hatred—a book for believers atheists agnostics and
anyone who’ll ever have to deal with a Christian nationalist. For more than two centuries
the United States Constitution has given us the right to a society where church and state exist
independently. But Christianity has been hijacked by far-right groups and politicians who seek
to impose their narrow views on government often to justify oppressive and unequal policies.
The extremists who weaponize the Bible for earthly power aren’t actually on the side of
Jesus—and historically they never have been. How do we fight back against those
acting—literally—in bad faith? Comedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang finally offers the
answers. In this informative perspective-shifting book Fugelsang takes readers through common
fundamentalist arguments on abortion immigration LGBTQ rights and more—exposing their
hypocrisy and inaccuracy through scripture common sense and deeply inappropriate humor. It
offers practical tips on how to debate your loved one coworker or neighbor on the issues that
divide us using that Bible they claim to follow. But Fugelsang’s message is about more than
just taking down hypocrites. It’s about fighting for the love mercy and service that are
supposed to make up the heart of Christianity. Told with Fugelsang’s trademark blend of radical
honesty comedy and deep political and religious knowledge Separation of Church and Hate is
the book every American needs today. It’s a rallying cry for compassion and clarity for anyone
of any faith who’s sick of religion being used as a cloaking device for hate.
