What does Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition really want? What
secret agenda lies behind radio counselor James Dobson's Focus on
the Family? Who are the Promise Keepers and what are their ultimate
goals? Why do so many leaders of the religious right engage in gay
bashing? What would these groups do to our public school system, or
to our government, if they were in power? Close Encounters with the
Religious Right takes you behind the scenes to answer these
questions and gives the reader a rare glimpse of a world the
average American may not even realize exists.
Author Robert Boston, of Americans United for Separation of Church
and State, has spent the past twelve years doggedly tracking the
religious right. As a "permanent resident alien" he has attended
their meetings, read their publications, watched their videos, and
debated their leaders in the national media. Boston contends that
despite claims to the contrary, the religious right is not dead as
a political force and may be stronger than ever. Backed by millions
of dollars, powerful television and radio ministries that reach
every corner of the nation, and slick magazines, zealous right-wing
groups are still very much involved in politics and are determined
to convert America into a fundamentalist "Christian" nation that
conforms to their narrow definition of Christianity. The next few
years, says Boston, could determine the fate of traditional
American liberties like separation of church and state and freedom
of the press.
Close Encounters with the Religious Right is an eye-opening expose,
revealing a sometimes funny but more often disturbing world of
fanaticism and extremism.
