Bad Religion

Ross Douthat, a prominent New York Times op-ed columnist, presents a compelling analysis of American Christianity, arguing that its decline poses a threat to American society.

He contends that the nation's political and economic crises have spiritual roots, stemming not from a lack of religion or secularism, but from 'bad religion.' Douthat asserts that traditional faith has collapsed, replaced by pseudo-Christianities that indulge personal egos and impulses.

This book traces the evolution of American faith from the 1950s to the Obama era, revealing how debased versions of Christian belief have fostered hubris, greed, and self-absorption.
