Metaxas is a skilled writer and makes the important point that the success of our system of government requires strong moral values. The problem is, he argues solely for Protestant Christian values and doesn't allow for the possibility of secular morality and ethics or other faiths. I almost gave up on the book after two chapters, but decided to challenge myself to try to see his point of view. If he changed the words “religion” or “Christianity” to “morality”, I'd recommend this book to others. Alas, I cannot.
