Sommario/riassunto |

Whether simply uneasy or downright hostile, the relation between religion and liberal democracy in this country has long been vexed and |

complex--and crucial to what America is and aspires to be. Amid increasingly contentious exchanges over fundamentalism, abortion rights, secularism, and pluralism, this book reminds us of the critical role that religion plays in the health and well-being of a democracy. |
