The United States Of Theocracy: The Christian Taliban Assault On Our Freedom

Hollywood Book Festival Honorable Mention 2014 Florida Book Festival Honorable Mention 2015 "This is a chilling book." "A fast-paced read that is part autobiography, part political analysis, and part non-fiction investigation of a system that appears almost insane." "Humphreys is doing a public service with her analysis of an alarming and growing fundamentalism." Hollywood Book Festival In her expose of the dark side of fundamentalist Christianity, psychologist Janet Humphreys reveals a punitive and intolerant religious movement wherein women are expected to be subservient to men, are discouraged from exercising their right to equal work for equal pay, and in which divorced women and gays are considered second class citizens undeserving of government services and benefits. Her expose is centered on areas of rural Florida which are fast becoming a brand of theocracy in which people who do not conform to the rigid religious dogma are being punished for their lack of compliance without legal recourse. In this eye-opening account of religion running amok, Dr. Humphreys talks about how she became the target of Christian fundamentalists while working as a prison psychologist in North Florida. Harassed on the job, conspired against and ignored by law enforcement, she was finally left with no choice but to resign and relocate, incurring financial losses and losing her retirement benefits as a result. United States of Theocracy is one woman's story, but it could be the story of anyone living in a community where the line between the law and religious doctrine has been muddied to the point where there is little, if any, separation between church and state. It serves as a warning that when extreme religious dogma encroaches upon people's rights and freedoms we are in danger of losing the essence of what America stands for.
