Review Quotes: "Scott Merriman addresses a very important part of history that has significance in modern times. In his examination of religious exemption Merriman makes a good argument as to which religion is more prominent than others, and how people choose to use their beliefs as a way to promote their own agenda. This is an important work that will challenge the reader as to the fine line between religion and the law." --Mitchell Newton-Matza, Author and Independent Scholar, USA
