19. There is an active movement within Christianity
to disassociate from the Right Wing approach, and to keep politics in the right place -- that is, outside the faith. For those who dare, irrespective of theological persuasion, get hold of a copy of "Jesus for President" and see an alternative view of Christianity. Lacking that, just google the book and see what's what.

Also, one might check out Gregory Boyd's "The Myth of a Christian Nation," although non-Christians would likely also find the tone of the book a bit too devout (I borrowed this phrase from a review on Amazon). Here's another part of that review, "Non-Christians may find it interesting to learn that no all evangelicals stand shoulder to shoulder with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and Tom DeLay..."

Recommended for critical thinkers only.
