Reviews
"If we forsake our freedom of religion, it's not the kind of thing we can ask nicely to have returned to us when we realize later how much we need it. First Freedom First explains why we ought to avoid this mistake, but, crucially, also how to avoid it--how respect for the First Amendment can unify even the most disparate elements in America's spiritual life." --RACHEL MADDOW (reviewing First Freedom First ) "An ordained minister now heading an organization aimed at protecting the separation between church and state, Lynn brings passion and a broad perspective to the national debate swirling around this issue. ... Whatever readers' religious or political beliefs, they will appreciate Lynn's well-considered examination of this contentious issue." -- Booklist (reviewing Piety and Politics ) "This is a book for every American. Gaddy and Lynn have provided us with a volume that informs and challenges, as well as inspires and guides us, on issues of vital importance--our founding fathers' vision for religious liberty and their constitutional guarantee of separation of church and state." --WALTER CRONKITE (reviewing First Freedom First ) "Lynn offers a sound alternative for Democratic leaders, who have sought to bridge perceived 'values deficits' with religion instead of what the party ostensibly stands for: 'a commitment to civil rights, civil liberties and economic justice'." -- Publishers Weekly (reviewing Piety and Politics ), ""No one is more on top of the challenges facing the first amendment than Barry Lynn. We are lucky he is paying attention, for no one sees more clearly how important it is that our government and whatever religion you choose to practice remain separated. By doing so, he is one of those who are keeping the lamp of liberty lit. With intelligence, wisdom, humanity, and a devilish wit, Lynn makes the issues come alive, and thereby we all become wiser. It is a book you should grab and read. You won't regret it." -- LEWIS BLACK, comedian"This book is a must-read for feminists and for all Americans who support women's rights--especially reproductive rights. Increasingly 'religious liberty' is being used to block women's access to abortion and birth control. That is 'religious liberty' for everyone--employers, right-wing politicians, bishops--except women who need access. Barry Lynn knows all the tricks, twists, and turns of those who want to turn the clock back several centuries. When he speaks, I take notes. His insights from twenty-five years on the front lines are extremely valuable." -- ELEANOR SMEAL, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation "Before I fled the religious right Barry Lynn would have been a deadly enemy. I'd have seen him as someone standing between us and the theocracy we were trying to turn America into. This book is literally a defense of freedom against the theocratic illness. As Lynn writes 'From cradle to grave, the Religious Right is concerned about every choice you make.' It is up to us to stop them from dominating every aspect of American life too. This book is a good place to start." -- FRANK SCHAEFFER, author of Crazy for God, "No one is more on top of the challenges facing the first amendment than Barry Lynn.

Synopsis
A central player in every major church-state-separation battle for decades, the Rev. Barry W. Lynn understands the complexities of this divisive issue like few others.

Barry W. Lynn understands the complexities of this divisive issue like few others. As a long-time activist, a civil rights lawyer, and an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, he offers a unique perspective and a wealth of experience on church-state controversies. In this lively book, he has compiled his writings from various sources to explore in depth the many ways religious extremists have attempted to erode individual liberties. The topics range from publicly-promoted prayer to efforts to undermine public education and replace it with taxpayer-subsidized vouchers for religious schools, interfering with end-of-life and reproductive rights, censorship, and belligerence directed against nonbelievers and minorities. Lynn concludes that the ultimate goal of these extremist forces-consisting mainly of the Protestant Religious Right and the Roman Catholic hierarchy-is the creation of a corporate theocracy, a decidedly undemocratic system of government in which nonconservative Christians, along with humanist, feminists, and the LGBTQ community, are relegated to second-class status in America., A central player in every major church-state-separation battle for decades, the Rev.
