The Secularist's Bible: And Other Astonishing Absurdities

The Secularist's Bible confronts America's church-state crisis through the absurdist wisdom of Stan Biderman, a son of Holocaust survivors who grew up speaking Yiddish with a Texas accent.As religious fundamentalists capture all three branches of government and dismantle Jefferson's wall of separation, Biderman channels thirty-five years of collected provocations into a battle cry. Through combative exchanges between Saba (the author as grandfather-philosopher) and Pfoot, his gleefully contrarian critic, readers encounter devastating constitutional arguments alongside wickedly subversive humor. At once political manifesto and personal memoir, with irreverent photographs throughout, this book transforms scattered anxieties about fundamentalist overreach into unified resistance.The struggle is real, and the struggle is shared: for religious believers who cherish secular democracy and patriotic secularists alike, The Secularist's Bible is validation of what we're losing and a riotous rallying cry to reclaim it.
