Synopsis
"We're mad as Heaven, and we're not going to take it anymore!" declares historian Robert McElvaine in this passionate and often hilarious rallying cry for sincere Jesus followers. He lets us know that the extreme right wing won't be allowed to speak for all Christians any longer. This polemic blends outrage and humor to expose the televangelists and the leaders of megachurches as the people Jesus warned us about. The religion McElvaine calls ChristianityLite promises, "Be saved without sacrifice or good works!" Run by a crew of politicians, megachurch preachers, televangelists, hypocrites, and snake-oil salesmen, it has hijacked true Christianity and distorted it into something Jesus wouldn't recognize, a religion that advocates war and intolerance, values money above charity, preaches hatred instead of brotherhood, and promises "true" believers the keys to the gates of the kingdom of God--and to the bank.--From publisher description.

Publisher's Note
A critique of televangelists and the leaders of mega-churches who preach a Christianity that ignores the actual doctrine of Jesus offers an exposé of the Religious Right's pro-war, anti-gay, and pro-greed creed, which runs counter to Jesus's actual teachings, with specific criticism of such figures as Ted Haggard, Pat Robertson, Ann Coulter, and others. 35,000 first printing.
