Title: Freethinkers: A Polemic Ripped From Its Context
Product review: The book tells us more about Jacoby's 21st century world-view than the role of skepticism and secularism in America's history. This is a polemic disguised as history. There is no context to the book, as it makes no attempt to contrast secularism with the impressive contributions of religious figures and institutions to American life. I would love to read a review by a scholar of American Religious history. I don't see how any scholar of religious history - other than another fellow secularist - could make much of a defense of this book.
