Barton peddles the proposition that America is a Christian nation, legally and historically. He asserts that the principle of church-state separation, while not in the Constitution, has systematically been used to rule religion out of the public arena, particularly the public school system. His presentation has just enough ring of truth to make him credible to many people. His work, however, is laced with exaggerations, half-truths and misstatements of fact.

Barton has carved out a nice niche for himself. While he is not taken seriously by anyone outside the Southern Baptist/Evangelical communities, he is a rock star to them (at least among the laity). Further proof that one can make a nice living by spoon feeding idiots what they desperately want to hear.
