book written by [[Ann Coulter]] in 2006.
Coulter's thesis is that "liberalism" holds every single characteristic of what is a religion. <ref>Ann Coulter, Godless: The Church of Liberalism (New York: Crown Publishing Group, 2006) ISBN 1-4000-5420-6<blockquote>Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'</blockquote> </ref>

Rather than answering any of her criticisms of liberal ideology substantively, critics made ''ad hominem'' attacks. "Ad hominem" means "against the man", rather than against what the man is saying (or in Coulter's case, against the woman). It is typical of liberals to change the subject and refuse to debate issues but rather to distract people with side issues or outright irrelevancies.
