My book goes on sale Tuesday! Here’s what’s going on to celebrate and self-promote:
\nOn this blog, I’m going to lay out some of the most controversial of the ideas and also the Top Ten Founding Fathers Quotes on Religion.
\nMonday night we launch the Founding Faith Archive<\/a>, an interactive collection of the most riveting or important letters and documents from the Founders on religious freedom and their personal spiritual beliefs.
\nI’ll be running an online book group starting next week. Everyone is welcome, whether you agree with the book or not. Sign up here.<\/a>
\nMonday night we’ll be highlighting an excerpt from the book, about Jefferson’s angry religious views.
\nOf course you can learn more about the book, or buy it, over here.<\/a>
\nAnd in the off chance you’re interested in hearing me on radio or TV, or reading reviews, I’ll update you on that too. (First two are in: insightful reviews from Jon Meacham in Newsweek<\/a> and David Dirda in The Washington Post Book World<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
