"If a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law.

Many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion. But as Ann Coulter reveals in this, her most explosive book yet, to focus solely on the Left's attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: liberalism is a religion?a godless one.

And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county.

Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).

Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.

Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there is?Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution's proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the "evolving" peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious heretics and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom?

Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution's scientific validity and everything to do with its refusal to admit the possibility of God as a guiding force. They will brook no challenges to the official religion.

Fearlessly confronting the high priests of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulter's razor-sharp wit, Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of today's most lively and impassioned conservative voices.

"Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'" ?From Godless

Evolution v. Intelligent Design

The chapters covering evolution were the most valuable part of the book. After reading it, I begin to rethink my views on evolution. I've always considered evolution to be a science, but not anymore. But I don't consider intelligent design to be a science either. If it is being taught as a science, then that would still be wrong in my opinion. After rethinking my views on this, I think that evolution could be considered as a philosophy. It reminds me of what was said about the so called "theory of everything" in physics. This theory is not considered to be science because it can't be proved. Like the "theory of everything" in physics; evolution could someday be thought of as a "theory of everything" that applies to biology. Therefore, it would no longer be considered a science, but a philosophy instead.

This One I Keep...

A couple of years ago, I loaned my copies of Ann Coulter's Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism and Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right to a conservative friend who then loaned it (with my permission) to a liberal relative. The books were never returned and probably never will be. Typical liberal taking what is not theirs and providing nothing in return.

I say that to say this, I am not loaning my copy of Godless: The Church of Liberalism to anyone. Besides providing a great history lesson in how we got to this place, my favorite part of the book was the section dealing with evolution. Now some may disagree with her, but I have never read a more clearly defined argument for this subject. This was a sharp mind and a great wordsmith at her best. I could feel the passion on the written page and knew that I was in the hands of a true believer.

Having read several modern books dealing with - to varying degrees - evolution such as Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything and The God Delusion, I can honestly attest that Ann Coulter's arguments win the day. I highly recommend this book for both the political writing and the section on evolution. I hope you find this review helpful.

She's cool

I like how she gets to the piont - easy to read and understand - not bogged down with stuff that makes ya put it away for later

"Incendiary"

This book is a little bit hard to read at first because she's so sarcastic all the time, but once you get used to her style, it's really good and you can't blame her! She's incredibly intelligent and some of the stories she unearths make you wonder if the world will ever be right again! IT WILL BE WHEN PEOPLE KNOW THE TRUTH! This book helps a seeker find more truth - a must read!
