Rev. Lynn will tell you why the
religious right's dream for America is a nightmare.
His evening presentation will focus on the explosive issue
of religion in public schools, explaining why true
religion doesn’t need the government’s assistance.
Lynn will be available after the
presentation to sign copies of his new book.
A
strong defense of secular government, Piety & Politics
argues that true religion doesn’t need the government’s
assistance, and in a nation of many faiths, it’s
impractical and inappropriate to foster specific doctrines
in the government or teach them in public schools.
Lynn’s book examines the proper role of religion in public
schools. He explains why tax support for religious
endeavors is dangerous. He looks at government endorsement
of religious symbols and concludes they hurt genuine
faith. Lynn discusses issues of reproduction, privacy and
gay rights and others, in each case explaining why the
Religious Right’s perspective is counter to the American
spirit of freedom.
