The Founding Myth (Sterling, May 8) answers the question of whether our nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles once and for all. Andrew L. Seidel, a constitutional attorney, builds his case point by point, comparing the Ten Commandments to the Constitution and contrasting biblical doctrine with America’s founding philosophy, conclusively showing that the Bible contradicts the Declaration of Independence’s central tenets and that the founding fathers didn’t look to the Bible in drafting this revolutionary document.

Thoroughly researched, this persuasively argued and fascinating book proves that America was not built on the Bible and that Christian nationalism is, in fact, un-American.
