Inventing a Christian America: The Myth of the Religious Founding is a book that breaks down the myth or the story that we all know growing up in America and heard around dinner tables around Thanksgiving, that people came to America for Religious Freedom, but in reality it was an afterthought for most.

The book breaks down each group and subset of colonies and tells of the history of each and when they became tolerate or allow religious freedom because it was easier to than not to discriminate or to control everyone with one version of ideals.

It is a pretty even look at both sides of ths story while sticking with history and facts, not myths.

It was an ARC via Netgalley, and there was proofing errors and not a final copy. It was a little dense at times but overall a good read.
