How long will good people remain silent in the face of the religious bigotry that has captured our Christian faith in America? How long will we sit silently by while religious bigotry overshadows love, tolerance and grace?How long before we finally stand up and say, “Enough is enough. This is not who we are”?Reginald Scot, the author, boldly answers this question for himself in this book. He will no longer be silent and hopes that the book’s stories will encourage you to join him and others in speaking out against religious bigotry and all its sanctimonious forms of evil. A day does not go by that white political and religious leaders, somewhere, do not play to their support bases by demeaning others. They denounce court orders that grant equality and call on school boards and local, state and national governments to force their religious agendas, including funding their schools, on the rest of the nation, all under the umbrella of “religious freedom”. Within their own churches, women are relegated to subservient roles, the LGBT community demonized, sexual assaults of women excused, other faiths damned, and demeaning jokes about blacks and other minorities laughed at.
