Barton is a fraud? Why, because lefties who hate him say so? I’ve gone through your linked article and as many ‘reviews’ of the book as I can stand.
NOBODY gives any evidence of WHAT is wrong exactly; only vague statements like “he pulls facts out of his -—..”

THIS article heading up this thread is EXACTLY about folks like you, bro. It’s Chick-Fil-A, book version, all over again.
What FACTS do you have supporting your claim that Barton is a fraud? Or is it that you just don’t like the guy?

I am a political conservative and a Christian. I will not embrace lies even when they are meant to support a particular world view. I am also a student of history and as such I know that anyone who tries to make Jefferson look like a Christian is either blind, stupid or has an agenda. In the case of Mr. Barton, my money is on the later.

If you want facts, there are plenty available. You might start with this work by a couple of conservative Christian scholars > Getting Jefferson Right: Fact Checking Claims about Our Third President

Then check out this video The Hidden Faith of Our Founding Fathers

Both the book and the video give many examples of Barton taking quotes out of context to make the founders say things they did not say.
