"If a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law. Many 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 Left's attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: liberalism is a religion—a godless one. And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county. Though 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 "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident). Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. For 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 science. Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there is—Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution's proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the "evolving" 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 classroom? Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution's 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 religion. Fearlessly confronting the high priests of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulter's razor-sharp wit, Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of today's most lively and impassioned conservative voices. "Liberals 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 'religion.'" —From Godless

"I can't believe I made it thought this whole book, but the more I read the harder it was to stop. I can't believe that she even believes what she is saying. She just knows she will laugh last from all the money she makes off her unique 'wisdom?' I did get to laugh a lot. Thank you for that."

" she rocks!! "
— Tracy, 1/14/2014" Ann Coulter can be quite polarizing. Antarctica is quite cold. I think this is an interesting analysis of how a dogmatic but secular ideology can become like a religious faith for some people, but likely everyone who reads this will be offended, so I hesitate to recommend it too broadly. "
— Bethany, 1/11/2014" Read 8/12/08 "

— Deveny, 12/7/2013" Ann Coulter hits liberals where it hurts by telling the truth with wit and impeccable research. You can ditto this review for all her books. "
— Vicci, 12/2/2013" The really ironic part? She thinks (and says this aloud, mind you) that people don't take her seriously because she's beautiful. Really, Ann? I thought it was because you were ridiculous. "
— Maggie, 10/31/2013" Thanks, Ann. Always a pleasure. "
— Mary, 10/17/2013" Ann you are true American nut case...is Rush L. your twin brother? "
— Lost, 10/15/2013" In her typical style Ann ridicules liberals and shows how they are simply replacing God with themselves and their own ideas. Highly recommend this book. "
— Christopher, 7/2/2013" Tell the truth , all you who put it on the worst books list, who has actually read it? Ann is smart and hilarious. "
— Connie, 6/6/2013" Some impressive research on creation science and evolution and, of course, biting wit. "
— John, 11/19/2012" What a horrible book. Anyone who would actually defend these views are obviously very susceptible to brain washing. To call liberalism a "religion" is purely the appeal to this very sad women's fantasy world. She is a nut job and so is anyone who reads this crap. "
— Mathew, 9/9/2012" The only thing wrong with this book is her position on Capital Punishment. All of her ideas in this book are on point. "
— Joshua, 7/22/2012" LOL funny . If you are a fan of reductio ad absurdum this is the book for you . "
— Julian, 7/22/2012" I've been reading a lot of political commentaries lately. This is my favorite from Coulter; I think this book does the best job a making her points clear and backing it up with research. "
— Pamela, 3/20/2012" Intriguing book written from the far right perspective covering political left, abortion, education, creation and evolution. Interesting concepts but sometimes facts seem taken out of context. "
— Evelyn, 3/5/2012" if you want to torture someone give them this book. "
— Daniel, 10/1/2011" Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but it was interesting that someone put it in print. "
— TheRose, 7/26/2011" she is over the top in all her beliefs but you have to give her credit for the spin. If you want to understand how the right distorts reality. Read her stuff. "
— Brian, 7/12/2011" What can I say. I love Ann Coulter. If you can take the tongue-in-cheek sarcasm as just that--sarcasm, Ann's arguements are worth the effort. Great read. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. "
— Sandra, 6/9/2011" People who take Ann Coulter seriously are the bane of this country and one reason I'm highly considering moving to canada. Sure their government isn't much better but at least I'll be able to afford my healthcare before I'm 65. "
— Steve, 5/19/2011" Coulter's brash, irreverent style would make her a cultural icon if she were on the left. But even liberals ready to bust a gasket over her views will not be able to hold back a laugh now and then. "
— David, 3/24/2011" Liked the information but prefer more comedic writing like Glenn Beck. "
— Deveny, 3/18/2011" I love this woman. No Republican speaks about it better! "
— Bronson, 2/8/2011" I'm British, but if I was an American, this is the book I would use to defend my reason for being a Democrat. I actually came away feeling nothing but an intense hatred for this stupid misguided woman. "
— Emily, 2/8/2011" Once again Ann Coulter provides a scathing commentary on American Liberalism. The premise that Liberalism is itself a primitive, godless religion, is a provocative idea that Ann Coulter vehemently defends, no matter how controversial she becomes. "
— David, 1/14/2011" I know this book is not intended to be comedy, but I found it to be very funny. You either hate her or love her, but either way she has a crazy and brazen way with words. "
— Lacy, 1/5/2011" Ann you are true American nut case...is Rush L. your twin brother? "
