Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics

The book that has sparked a vigorous national debate about the state of American religion, praised by Timothy Keller as â€œprovocativeâ€ and â€œcompelling,â€ while The New York Times says â€œDouthat attacks nonsense on both the cultural right and leftâ€¦responsible and fair,â€ and the Washington Times raves â€œa superb documentation of Americaâ€™s crisis of faith,â€ now in paperback.

AS THE YOUNGEST-EVER OP-ED COLUMNIST FOR The New York Times, Ross Douthat has emerged as one of the most provocative and influential voices of his generation. In Bad Religion he offers a masterful and forceful account of how American Christianity has lost its wayâ€”and why it threatens to take American society with it.

In a world populated by â€œpray and grow richâ€ gospels and Christian cults of self-esteem, Ross Douthat argues that Americaâ€™s problem isnâ€™t too much religion; nor is it intolerant secularism. Rather, itâ€™s bad religion. Conservative and liberal, political and pop cultural, traditionally religious and fashionably â€œspiritualâ€â€”Christianityâ€™s place in American life has increasingly been taken over, not by atheism, but by heresy: debased versions of Christian faith that stroke our egos, indulge our follies, and encourage our worst impulses.

In a brilliant and provocative story that moves from the 1950s to the age of Obama, Douthat explores how bad religion has crippled the countryâ€™s ability to confront our most pressing challenges and accelerated American decline.
