Halfway through the book, and I especially found chapter two fascinating, for the reasons you shared. Also, it’s just wild to me that Wilson is a pastor who has written books on SO many topics—theology, parenting/family life, children’s books, etc. The fact that he is able to write such an insightful book on history and culture is just remarkable. (Full disclosure: I work for the publisher of the book in a non-editorial role.)
I own the book but these days seem to make better progress with audio at 1.5 -2x. I’m only 37% finished but maybe speeding it up makes the voices even harder to follow. I do want to go back and read the paper pages pretty soon though - so much fascinating stuff there.
Isn’t the first “R” rich, not religious? But a great summary, and looks like a book to grab next! A bit different from the trad Catholic take on the American Revolution, that it leads to secularism only in a bad sense.

Ask Jake Meador put it, it's annoying.
Ha! I just started listening to this book yesterday. That weird(er)!!
I liked listening to his voices for historical characters. Though it was hard to follow at times through audio

Guilty of the personality test...haha
The worst was the time I took one of those “which Disney prince are you” tests and I didn’t know it would auto share my results to Facebook
I don’t pass
Excellent, very glad to hear that.

You’re right!
