What Do You Do with a Chocolate Jesus? is a funny and skeptical - but genuine - exploration of the Christian history they don’t teach in Sunday school. It finds humor and insight in the inconsistency, absurdity, and flat-out weirdness that too often passes for eternal truth. Think of it as the history of religion as told by a comedian over a beer.

Pitting actual Scripture against pious propaganda, Thomas Quinn treks through chapter and verse of the New Testament, the sordid saga of medieval beliefs (stopping for a few End of the World panics, and fights about what kind of stuff Jesus was made of), and reveals the shocking attitude of America’s founders toward religion.

If war is too important to leave to the generals, religion is too important to leave to the preachers. Skeptics need evangelists, too.
