Reviews
Advance praise: 'In this highly readable and timely book, Marci Hamilton sheds much needed light on the ways in which religious groups and institutions - often aided and abetted by 'dealmaker' politicians - enjoy special treatment under the law, often to the detriment of others and the broader society. Highlighting the key distinction between religious belief and behavior, Hamilton argues that while freedom of religious belief deserves absolute constitutional protection, actions undertaken in the name of religion must be limited when they cause harm. This deceptively simple message, illuminated by Hamilton's impressive scholarship, deserves the attention not only of scholars, lawmakers, and religious practitioners, but also of average citizens whose everyday lives are - often unwittingly - impacted by the issues she raises.' Hella Winston, journalist and author of Unchosen: The Hidden Lives of Hasidic Rebels

Synopsis
Clergy sex abuse, polygamy, children dying from faith healing, companies that refuse to do business with same-sex couples, and residential neighborhoods forced to host homeless shelters - what do all of these have in common? They are all examples of religious believers harming others and demanding religious liberty regardless of the harm. This book unmasks those responsible, explains how this new set of rights is not derived from the First Amendment and argues for a return to common-sense religious liberty. In straightforward, readable prose, God vs. the Gavel: The Perils of Extreme Religious Liberty sets the record straight about the United States' move toward extreme religious liberty. More than half of this thoroughly revised second edition is new content, featuring a new introduction and epilogue and contemporary stories. All Americans need to read this book, before they or their friends and family are harmed by religious believers exercising their newfound rights., Clergy sex abuse, polygamy, children dying from faith healing, companies that refuse to do business with same-sex couples, and residential neighborhoods forced to host homeless shelters - what do all of these have in common?
