This book refutes the concept of Religious Equality from many aspects. For the agnostic or secular or irreligious or anti-religious this book proves how everyone is upon a religious faith even if they don't know it and that it is impossible to not have a religion.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, when asked at a press conference about the roots of his political philosophy, responded simply, "I am a Christian and a Democrat." This is the story of how the first informed the second-how his upbringing in the Episcopal Church and matriculation at the Groton School under legendary educator and minister Endicott Peabody molded Roosevelt into a leader whose politics were fundamentally shaped by the Social Gospel.
