God's Politics

God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It is a 2005 book by author Jim Wallis. The book focuses on the role of religion in politics, and critiques both the so-called "religious right" and the "secular left". His criticism includes quotations from the Bible, as he accuses George W. Bush of practising bad theology, noting that Jesus was strictly non-violent, and said more about social justice than homosexuality. He defends religion in general, and challenges organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union for overreacting to public displays of religion.
