How Religion Arises: A Psychological Study (1888) Book

It's been a while since I read Barton's book but here is what I remember.

Barton goes to great lengths to prove that the foundations of the government of the United States of American was established by men who wished for this country to be a Christian nation. Indeed, he goes so far as to quote out of context, misinterpret the intent of the founding fathers and early courts and in his attempts to make the founders look like angels, occasionally succeeds in making them look like idiots.

Barton clearly is utterly biased and has an agenda which does not include establishing fact but rather, making the world safe for Christianity (as opposed to, Safe for Freedom).

My opinion, of course!
