[USA], 9-Dec, In literature, every so often, a read impacts the audience personally, stirs conversations, and lays the foundation for a change. Author Michael Caputo's riveting book Never Forget What They've Done to Us: Counterfeit Christians 101 addresses an issue that has persisted for hundreds of years and has only escalated with the changing society. In the read, Caputo vouches for the separation of the church and state, calling out the hypocrisy of Christians through an informative piece backed by his Catholic experience. He informs readers why he has come to despise organized religion based on what he has witnessed throughout his life.

It is important to note that Caputo's criticism is not toward any particular religion or sect but to the people who force their faith on others, tarnishing the concept entirely. He iterates the distinction between God and religion as separate entities and why no human being should combine the two.

Moreover, his primary focus is on Counterfeit Christians in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as he exposes their exploitation of power by all those who "practice" faith. Furthermore, Caputo also discusses in vivid detail how the business of religion has affected all the marginalized groups of America and humanity, with Christianity and Catholicism blatantly aiming all their rhetoric and continuously targeting Jews, Black and Brown people, the LGBTQ+ community, as well as women for centuries.

In a society that needs faith more than ever, considering the uncertain circumstances, people must realize their vulnerability so that they are not prone to be used by all the "wolves in sheep's clothing" out there.
Michael Caputo's research and commentary have undoubtedly made Never Forget What They've Done to Us: Counterfeit Christians 101 a masterpiece.
