I've read few months ago "Christian Nation: A Novel" by Frederic C. Rich and it's really one of the best novels I've ever read. It's about a modern overtake of US by Christians (Sarah Palin) and turning it into what she promised "Totalitarian Christian redneck society"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
