A 2026 Audie Award Winner for Nonfiction and Finalist for Narration by the Author

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In the spirit of George Carlin and Christopher Hitchens, the son of a former Catholic nun and a Franciscan brother delivers a deeply irreverent and biblically correct takedown of far-right Christian hatred—a book for believers, atheists, agnostics, and anyone who’ll ever have to deal with a Christian nationalist.

For more than two centuries, the United States Constitution has given us the right to a society where church and state exist independently. But Christianity has been hijacked by far-right groups and politicians who seek to impose their narrow views on government, often to justify oppressive and unequal policies. The extremists who weaponize the Bible for earthly power aren’t actually on the side of Jesus—and historically they never have been. How do we fight back against those acting—literally—in bad faith?

Comedian and broadcaster John Fugelsang finally offers the answers. In this informative, perspective-shifting book, Fugelsang takes readers through common fundamentalist arguments on abor­tion, immigration, LGBTQ rights, and more—exposing their hypocrisy and inaccuracy through scripture, common sense, and deeply inappropriate humor. It offers practical tips on how to debate your loved one, coworker, or neighbor on the issues that divide us using that Bible they claim to follow.

But Fugelsang’s message is about more than just taking down hypocrites. It’s about fighting for the love, mercy, and service that are supposed to make up the heart of Christianity. Told with Fugelsang’s trademark blend of radical honesty, comedy, and deep political and religious knowledge, Separation of Church and Hate is the book every American needs today. It’s a rallying cry for compassion and clarity for anyone of any faith who’s sick of religion being used as a cloaking device for hate.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Talk show host/comedian John Fugelsang dedicates this important and timely book to his parents, a Carmelite nun and Franciscan monk who left their orders but remained dedicated to the teachings of Christ. Fugelsang’s warm, companionable voice perfectly conveys his concern that right-wing forces are using the Bible as a prop to justify cruelty, hatred, and absolute power—the very opposite of Jesus’s message. He offers Scripture, verse, and humor to help listeners respond knowledgeably to those who are using religion to spread misinformation and pain. His calming voice reminds us of the compassion, kindness, and tolerance in Jesus’s message and offers hope to those who need ways to talk back to the loud, self-righteous voices of anger and hate currently around us."

Initially it took me a while to warm up to it. The first 2 hours I kept wondering to myself who it was for. Any right wing or conservative Christian in my life would likely have no tolerance for it, with the pithy, irreverent comments made throughout. As someone deep into the history and critical scholarship I also found some of the representations of Paul to be shallow- but in an understandable way. This book tries to take as canon of a depiction of the acts in the bible as I think it can, which makes sense coming from a Christian. I also know picking a fight over Paul's authentic letters vs the later pseudonymous ones would likely derail the topic, so while I do wish things went more in depth early on, that may just be my taste getting in the way, as many of the claims about Paul don't hold to modern scholarship. If however, one is unaware of this scholarship, it refutes a certain view of Paul which IS accepted in lay churches. Which is why I still give full stars.

The book really picks up in the last 2/3rds though, as direct policy prescriptions are laid bare for the nothing they have ever been. The chapters on Abortion, and Immigration are stellar and the absolute highlight of the book. The other topics like white supremacy, American dude-bro 'Christianity' and the insecure flaccid men who idealize power and control is also taken behind the shed, as is its due. The gun passages are good as well, though more depth could have been given. The point is still valid and made, but I do like a total shutdown approach.

The chapter on Homosexuality was another good one, though when I think of convincing others, I do think the irreverence is perhaps still a barrier to entry if this book tried to convince someone. Then again, America's literacy rates are rising, and you can bet most the people who can't read are also the ones who need to most.

Great book, the history of ceding historical institutions to the right is a grave misstep of recent generations. A demon has swallowed America, and it takes the form of a white Jesus with a gun. I've ordered a hardcover now, and will add it to my shelf.

Directly Reproves Anti-Christ Christians

Read the Bible with that concordance and this book. It's light with very heavy lessons to lead in love and humanity. Y'know - what Jesus tells us to do. The walk isn't easy but it's sure worth it.

SO. MUCH. THIS.

I loved this book. It answered all kinds of questions I’ve had and gave me a few more. Fugelsang, like most authors, is the best narrator for the book and as a comedian, he is particularly brilliant at it.

Wonderful Book and a Tool I Plan to Use

There was nothing to dislike. Not one damn thing. This was a wonderful listen. John's incredible knowledge of The Bibe, along his humor and logic, made this serious subject both hilarious and heartbreaking. "Christian Nationalists" do not follow the teachings of Jeshua, the Nazarene. I wish I could have found this before exiting the Christian faith, which is constantly sullied by these so-called, very hateful "Christians." They have sullied the religion I used to love. I miss the fellowship (and the Hymns), and I still believe in the teachings, but I no longer have anything to do with the religion. This book lifted me up, made me laugh, and made me cry.

Great listen!

This is a message and a manual for anyone who wants to follow Christ instead of Christians. It is the best non-fiction book I have read this year and should be on every bookshelf as a reference. John Fuglesang is an excellent writer and narrator. His logic, mastery of the gospel, and sincere conviction that Jesus' message was that we love one another no matter what is refreshing and timely.
By their fruits you will know them.

Let those who have ears, hear.
