For years the religious right
has argued, in clear contradiction of our secular constitution, that
the founders intended America to be a Christian Nation. Tired of
fighting against history, the Texas Board of Education has decided to
simply rewrite it. Topping their list of inconvenient facts that need to
be removed from the history books is Thomas Jefferson and the
enlightenment roots of his thought. Unfortunately Texas sets the tone
for textbooks nationwide. But could secularists be just as guilty of
rewriting history? David Bentley Hart thinks so. His book, Atheist
Delusions: the Christian Revolution and it's Fashionable Enemies, is the
subject of this weeks Counter-Apologetics segment. Reasonable Doubts:
Your skeptical guide to religion offering news and commentary of
interest to skeptics, atheists, humanists, apologists looking for a
challenge and freethinkers of all persuasions.
