Bad Religion by Ross Douthat

How We Became a Nation of Heretics

A critique of contemporary American Christianity that argues many popular forms of belief have strayed from historic Christian doctrine and been reshaped by consumerism, therapeutic culture, political partisanship, and social pragmatism; the book traces how these forces produced a variety of modern “heresies,” documents their historical development and social consequences, and calls for a recovery of traditional theological commitments and communal institutions to renew religious life.
