John Fugelsang
The Jesus we meet in the Bible denounces power, violence, misogyny, and wealth, and commands his followers to welcome the stranger. But once the empire that killed Jesus took over his operation, their retrofitted form of Christianity started a funny little habit of doing whatever the Hell it wants and ignoring the man who launched the startup.
This fresh history reveals how the actual teachings of Jesus have been hijacked and hate-washed ever since Constantine the Great turned the religion of “Turn the other cheek” into a machine for conquest. From the New York Times bestselling author of Separation of Church and Hate, this is a book for believers, nonbelievers, and everyone dealing with the influence of Christian nationalism.
From crusaders, conquistadors, colonizers, and confederates to modern Christian nationalists, Fake Christians teaches you to spot the pattern of the oldest con in Christianity: 1. Invoke Jesus’s name to get power. 2. Once in power, do the opposite of what Jesus says. 3. If anyone points out step 2, scream about persecution.
Jesus warned that deceivers would come in his name: “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing,” or at least very bad suits. Beware Christians who don’t fight for any of the teachings of Jesus—while fighting for Christian control over society.
History, like our headlines, is packed with individuals and institutions who claim to serve Jesus and leave quite a body count in the process. Luckily, history also teaches us how to resist when faith is weaponized for earthly power. Fake Christians introduces us to the chain-breakers, the peacemakers, the abolitionists and dissenters—the true Christ-followers carrying on his message of compassion, service, and love.
Naming the hypocrisy is the first step to overcoming it. Because if the frauds aren’t called out, we’re putting MLK in the same basket as the KKK.
Wielding facts, scripture, and razor-sharp humor, Fugelsang takes apart the justifications propping up the pursuit of domination in the name of Christianity. Both a guide to the Christian history you never learned and a source of renewed inspiration for the future, Fake Christians is a book about what Christianity started out as, what it became, and why it’s still worth fighting for.
