Perry, Marvin.  Western Civilization: A Brief History.  6th ed.  New York:  Houghton Mifflin 
Company, 2008.

-This source is actually a text book that I am using for my History 150 class.  Their are a few chapters that talk in detail about the Rise of the Christian Religion and why it was created.  It gives incite into how the spreading the the religion was done and the penalties that went along with questioning the word of God.  When people take a more in depth look at how the Christian Religion came about they see all the lies and manipulations coming with it.  It was devised to restore public order in a civilization needing just that.  The christian religion described in the book is much different than of todays.

-This source speaks about how most people think that the Nation was built on "biblical principles."   Whereas our founding fathers were deist and didn't believe that "God" intervened in our lives.  More that "God" created the world and left us here to play it out.
