With God on Their Side: How Christian Fundamentalists Trampled Science, Policy, and Democracy in George W. Bush's White House, by Esther Kaplan, from New Press, ISBN 1565849205. Did you know the Park Service has approved the sale of a creationist book that claims the Grand Canyon was formed by the flood that launched Noah's Ark? No surprise, with twice-weekly Bible classes in the White House and daily prayer meetings at the Justice Department. Much of the unprecedented influence of the Christian Right could be reversed this Election Day - but their makeover of the courts will undermine the rights of women and gays, while bolstering those of corporations, for decades to come.
