Meticulously researched and intended for the lay reader, this examination of the church’s devastating impact upon human freedom, dignity, and spirituality is as relevant today as ever. Among the book’s controversial claims, it outlines the Religious Right’s attempt to assert greater influence in American politics and society, presenting a compelling argument that the church’s desire to control and contain spirituality motivated its persecution of heretics, its burning of libraries, the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the witch hunts. This dark side of Christianity has a world view that permeates every aspect of Western society and fosters sexism, racism, intolerance, and the desecration of the natural environment. Investigado minuciosamente y pensado para el publico general, este analisis del tremendo impacto de la iglesia sobre la libertad humana, la dignidad y la espiritualidad es tan pertinente hoy como nunca antes. Entre las ideas controversiales del libro esta la idea que los derechistas religiosos estan buscando ampliar su influencia sobre la politica y la sociedad. Esta teoria pone adelante el argumento que la busqueda de control espiritual ha motivado a la iglesia en su persecucion de herejes, la quema de bibliotecas, las Cruzadas, la Inquisicion y la persecucion de los brujos. Este lado oscuro del Cristianismo tiene una perspectiva que domina el mundo Occidental y fomenta el sexismo, racismo, intolerancia y la destruccion del medio ambiente.
