Building on the success of Stereotyping Religion: Critiquing Clichés, this follow up volume dismantles a further 10 widespread stereotypes and clichés about religion, focusing on clichés that a new generation of students are most familiar with.

Each chapter includes:

- A description of a particular cliché

- "Religion is personal and not subject to government regulation"
- "Religious pluralism gives everyone a voice"
