quotIf a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nations official state religion he would have to conclude it is liberalism while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by lawMany 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 Lefts attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point liberalism is a religiona godless oneAnd it is now entrenched as the state religion of this countyThough 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 quotabsolute moral authorityquot of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland and its cosmology in which mankind is an inconsequential accidentThen of course theres the liberal creation myth Charles Darwins theory of evolutionFor 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 scienceWriting with a keen appreciation for genuine science Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there isDarwinism is nothing but a gap After years of dedicated searching into the fossil record evolutions proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims And a long line of supposed evidence from the infamous Piltdown Man to the quotevolvingquot 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 classroomLiberals absolute devotion to Darwinism Coulter shows has nothing to do with evolutions 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 religionFearlessly confronting the high priests of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulters razor-sharp wit Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of todays most lively and impassioned conservative voicesquotLiberals 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 religionquot From Godless.
