"Katherine Stewart has written a book that pierces through the fog and noise to reveal the dangerous forces gathering, planning and plotting against liberty. She echoes the warnings of Dorothy Thompson about fascism: 'There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, and the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of the happenings.' Stewart hits the mark." -- Steve Schmidt, political strategist and co-founder of The Lincoln Project "Writing here as part investigative journalist, part sociologist and part political philosopher, Katherine Stewart provides an indispensable citizen's guide to the anti-democratic MAGA Right in America. In Money, Lies and God , the whole gang is here in their dubious political glory - anti-Vaxx Internet provocateurs, pro-Putin anti-abortion zealots, authoritarian Harvard Law professors, anti-gay fanatics, billionaire funders like Tom Monaghan and the Koch brothers, crazed neo-fascist thinkers, exurban megachurch power players, Opus Dei, right-wing political bosses, Michael Flynn, John Eastman, Roger Stone and the well-paid apparatus of political and juridical reaction and corruption. This is a vibrant ideological ecosystem but Stewart explains why the vast majority of Americans must reject its dark vision and defeat its politicians." -- Congressman Jamie Raskin "Meticulously researched, elegantly written, and hard-hitting, Money Lies and God provides a riveting account of the forces that have brought our nation to the brink. If this book comes too late to save our democracy, it will offer the definitive postmortem.
" -- Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE "Katherine Stewart has written what may be the most important political book of the day, exposing the networks of dark money funded, ultra right-wing subversives who have already done enormous damage to our Constitution and the rule of law and are now perilously close to overthrowing the American government as we know it. With persuasive precision and undeniable documentation, Stewart names and connects the dots, refusing to normalize the frighteningly abnormal, confronting powerful forces that too few reporters comprehend, let alone describe." -- Sean Wilentz, author of NO PROPERTY IN MAN and the George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton University "Ambitious . required reading for anyone who wants to map the continuing erosion of our already fragile wall between church and state." -- The Washington Post on THE POWER WORSHIPPERS "Both an examination of a new social and cultural phenomenon-and a call for action." -- The Boston Globe on THE POWER WORSHIPPERS "Presents chilling evidence that millions of American churchgoers are being inflamed and exploited by a cynical, well-funded alliance of power seekers. Read The Power Worshippers to understand what the relentless political agitation against abortion and homosexuality has really achieved-and for whom." -- Nancy MacLean, author of DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS.
