Description
Samuel P. Putnam’s inflammatory work presents a scathing critique of organized religion and its influence on American governance. The author argues that religious dogma operates as a curse, disease, and deception that has compromised the nation’s founding principles of liberty and freedom.
Dedicated provocatively to the American Congress, this book examines how religious institutions have wielded political power to undermine secular governance and individual freedoms. Putnam contends that religious thinking has infected American policy-making, resulting in legislation that favors religious interests over constitutional rights.
Through historical analysis and philosophical argument, the work challenges readers to question the relationship between faith-based governance and democratic principles. It remains a significant example of 19th-century freethought literature and anticlerical discourse in American intellectual history.
