Preachers vs. Porn is a book about war-specifically the war between Christian religious philosophy and its adherents and the adult entertainment industry that has been targeted by Christian religious leaders and their supportive politicians. In these pages, author Mark Kemes reports the findings of his investigations into how Christianity has evolved into a political force that supports conservative politics that specifically targets sex and sexual depictions to advance its political aims.
Adult readers who are interested in learning about the effect of Christianity on the sexual aspect of life and humanity will find Kemes' research and firsthand experience as a former court reporter and legal editor informative and enlightening. Sociologists; atheists/agnostics; First Amendment attorneys; adult industry members, including performers, owners of adult production companies, and owners of strip clubs; and psychologists in particular will find this material, culled from the millions of words Kernes has written, to be insightful into how conservative Christianity has impacted sexuality in our society.
