This is an excellent book which would deserve a "5" rating, except that now the material is dated. Written in 1996, it details discrimination practiced as a matter of course against Christians and Christian churches and other organizations.
It is a good primer for those who wish to know their rights to free speech, freedom of religion and freedom of association, as they may be affected in the marketplace, the workplace, the school and the public square. The approach makes for easy reading, and is accessible to those who do not have a legal background.
Issues covered go so far as to include local zoning issues, and picketing and leafleting and a myriad of other manners in which one may express one's beliefs. The presentation is easy reading and uses a generous dose of anecdotes, followed by concise summaries of legal points in a way easily understood and basically presented.
Although the focus of the book is about fighting discrimination against Christians, the rules are applicable to any system of beliefs that you may wish to protect using the United States Constitution.
Many of the statistics are frightening in their scope, demonstrating a devolution in courtesy and morals in modern society. It would be interesting to have an updated edition of this work to see if things are getting better or worse. Many of the predictions have come true, but not all of the projections have become reality, in no small part because of the efforts taken to preserve our rights.
All proponents of "tolerance" should read this book to see if they truly practice what they preach, or if they are in the business of censoring opposing views.
