In a nation founded on the principle of separation of church and state, the lines between faith and public life have
become increasingly blurred. The influence of religion in politics, education, and social discourse is undeniable, and its impact on individual liberty and societal harmony is a cause for concern. While I respect the right to personal faith, I believe that the encroachment of religion into the public sphere poses a significant threat to our democratic values and undermines the very foundation of a free and just
society.
This book presents a powerful argument against the growing influence of religion in public life, particularly in the United States. It is a call for a return to the original principles of religious freedom—freedom from religious coercion,
freedom from religious indoctrination, and freedom to
embrace a spirituality that resonates with our own individual truth.
