The Liberty Threat : The Attack on Religious Freedom in America Today

What happened to liberty and justice for all? Americans are losing what are supposed to be constitutionally promised rights at an alarming pace. The Founding Fathers understood the overriding essentiality of religious practice unimpeded by governmental authority, but time and vast cultural change has eroded this from the consciences of modern politicians. The struggle for the right to worship freely has been present since the time of the Roman Empire. By looking at how the Ancient Christian world relates to the failures of our own Supreme Court, it is possible to see what has led to so much government interference in personal religious beliefs in the name of "equality." As we watch America teeter ever closer to the brink of moral collapse and prejudice against religion becomes even more institutionalized, one question always surfaces: How can we stop this? In The Liberty Threat James Tonkowich explores the history of Christian philosophy from the Church's infancy through the birth of America and how it influenced religious liberty. With powerful examples fresh from today's courts, Tonkowich illustrates just how the rigid separation of Church and state has created a world that is hostile to true faith. The Liberty Threat is both a chilling wake-up and a clear call to action for Christians everywhere. Americans are losing what are supposed to be constitutionally protected rights at an alarming pace. The quest for religious liberty was the impetus for the settling of America, and our nation at its founding upheld religious liberty as "first of our freedoms." But throughout our history, this crucial right has been a fragile one. Never has it been more fragile--or threatened--than today. In this book, the author explores the development of religious liberty, from ancient Rome to the birth of America to the current day. With powerful examples fresh from today's courts, the author documents the growing and increasingly brazen efforts to drive religion from the public square **What happened to liberty and justice for all?**__The Liberty Threat____The Liberty Threat__
