God Bless America: Strange and Unusual Religious Beliefs and Practices in the United States

God Bless America lifts the veil on strange and unusual religious beliefs and practices in the modern-day United States.

Do Satanists really sacrifice babies? Do exorcisms involve swearing and spinning heads? Are the Amish allowed to drive cars and use computers? Offering a close look at snake handling, new age spirituality, Santeria spells, and satanic rituals, this book offers more than mere armchair research.

It takes you to an exorcism, a Charismatic church, and a Fundamentalist Mormon polygamist compound.

You will sit among the beards and bonnets in a Mennonite church, hear the sounds of silence at a Quaker meeting, and listen to L.

Ron Hubbard's sci-fi stories told as sermons during a Scientology service.
