An acclaimed author "argues... that [the] assault [on Christianity] goes to the very core of our founding constitutional principles of freedom of worship" (Donald Critchlow, National Review).

In It's Dangerous to Believe, Mary Eberstadt documents how people of faith -- especially Christians who adhere to traditional religious beliefs -- face widespread discrimination in today's increasingly secular society. Eberstadt details how recent laws, court decisions, and intimidation on campuses threaten believers who fear losing their jobs, their communities, and their basic freedoms because of their convictions. They fear that their religious universities and colleges will capitulate to aggressive secularist demands. They fear that they and their families will be ostracized or will have to lose their religion because of mounting social and financial penalties for believing. They fear they won't be able to maintain charitable operations that help the sick and feed the hungry.

Is this what we want for our country?

Religious freedom is a fundamental right, enshrined in the First Amendment. With It's Dangerous to Believe, Eberstadt calls attention to this growing bigotry and seeks to open the minds of secular liberals whose otherwise good intentions are transforming them into modern inquisitors. Not until these progressives live up to their own standards of tolerance, she reminds us, can we build the inclusive society America was meant to be.

"The keepers of the new progressive orthodoxy have garnered enough establishment backing to push as far as they choose. A read through Eberstadt's research is a good first step toward getting oriented in this new cultural landscape" -- The New Criterion

"Eberstadt's description of the bewildered faithful, caught up in rapid social changes, is deeply affecting." -- The American Conservative
