The FBI and the Academic Study of Religion / Weitzman, Steven -- Notes -- IndexThe Federal Bureau of Investigation has had a long and tortuous relationship with religion over almost the entirety of its existence. As early as 1917, the Bureau began to target religious communities and groups it believed were hotbeds of anti-American politics. Whether these religious communities were pacifist groups that opposed American wars, or religious groups that advocated for white supremacy or direct conflict with the FBI, the Bureau has infiltrated and surveilled religious communities that run the gamut of American religious life. The FBI and Religion recounts this fraught and fascinating history, focusing on key moments in the Bureau's history. Starting from the beginnings of the FBI before World War I, moving through the Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War, up to 9/11 and today, this book tackles questions essential to understanding not only the history of law enforcement and religion, but also the future of religious liberty in America.Law enforcementUnited StatesReligious aspectsReligion and lawUnited StatesLaw enforcementReligious aspects.Religion and law363.250973Johnson Sylvester A., Weitzman Steven, DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910153130903321The FBI and Religion2836708UNINA
