Publisher's summary

If a Martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law. Many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion. But as Ann Coulter reveals in this, her most explosive audiobook yet, to focus solely on the left's attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: Liberalism is a religion - a godless one. And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county.

Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the church of liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).

Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: It is bogus science.

Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there is - Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution's proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the "evolving" peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious heretics and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom?

Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution's scientific validity and everything to do with its refusal to admit the possibility of God as a guiding force. They will brook no challenges to the official religion.

Fearlessly confronting the high priests of the church of liberalism and ringing with Coulter's razor-sharp wit, Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of today's most lively and impassioned conservative voices.

Most Excellent

Agree this is Ann's best book yet. A lot of information that I really want to remember. I'm re-reading because so much comes at you so quickly that you can't remember everything. Just like Ann it reads 100 miles per hour. Reader is excellent.

So brilliant and so funny too

Who said liberal critics have to be dry and devoid of humor. Ann Coulter just saved me from an major depressive episode. Really funny with unique and cutting insights. Read anything from this savant.

Superb Book. Must Read!

This book is great. While Ann Coulter is sometimes acerbic in her tone the material is very thought provoking and thouroughly researched. If liberal readers are angered or offended by what Ann presents the fault is not Ann's. In almost all cases she lets the liberals speak for themselves, using extensive quotes, and allows us to be the judge. She takes occasional potshots at people but it is no worse than one hears on the average TV talk show. The negative press was way overblown. This book is terrific. Highly recommended.

Ignore the shouting at Ann-- listen to her here

Ann is either loved or reviled, but only because her arrows hit the mark with more fun and force than any other commentator today. Godless raises the stakes to a new level. If you love her other books, Godless won't disappoint-- you'll laugh as you learn. If you hate her, especially without ever reading one of her books, you might just want to try this one out, to cut through all the shouting about Ann and listen to her thoughts. As hilarious as she can be, in the end its not her humor that sells, its the intellect behind her arguments. By themselves, the ending chapters on evolution are worth the listen.

She's a mean one

This is the best of Ann Coulter's books but I must say she sure is mean to those liberals. She says some things I wouldn't say but she says some things that need to be said. As usual the format of audio book is not ideal for Ann Coulter because she throws out so much information it is hard to take it in without having to back up the audio and listen again. Overall if you liked her other audiobooks you will definitely like this one.

Exposure of the left and the progesssives!

Blatent Truth if you have an open mind and see it played out in life!

Wish Ann Narrated

I love Ann's material and this book is as good or better than her previous books. My only disappointment is that Ann herself did not narrate the book. While the reader does a credible job, she is not Ann Coulter. Part of the fun of an Ann Coulter audio book is to actually listen to Ann and all her wit being put across exactly the way she wants it. She is a wonderful narrator of her own books - so that is my only (but big) disappointment. Still a great book.

Read it yourself Ann!

I thoroughly enjoy Ms. Coulter's dry wit and was not disappointed with this offering. The only dissapointment was when I realized she paid someone else to do her reading for her. (VERY Republican!) Look elsewhere if you want to HEAR what she has to say.

Why I love Ann Coulter

She wrote an incredibly insightful book about the liberal attack on God, and it helped me understand why we need to support republicans if we want Christianity to survive their assault.

Very polarized, very repetitive

As a Canadian, it took me a little bit of time to become fully acquainted with all of the terms that the author uses for each political party, and each political point of view. Fortunately, she repeats herself so often, that it sank in within the first hour.

She is rabidly anti-Liberal - which is a fine opinion, and one she is entitled to. I tend to see the idiocy in most of the policies of both major parties, and wonder why the rest of the population doesn't rise up and install new leadership. Oh well, it's tough to change things sometimes.

Either way, she points to some of the more obvious faults of the Liberal world view, and of course says nothing to besmirch the Republicans.

I probably could have gotten through her rabid diatribe, except that she repeats herself far too much. Twice, three times, I probably could have handled... I draw the line at six... on every single topic.

This is the first audiobook I've deleted without listening to the entire thing.
