The work is divided into four main sections: the constitutional debate regarding the establishment and free exercise of religion clause, the themes of violence and nonviolence as they relate to religion, the free exercise of religion and the rise of fundamentalism, and the challenges to the free exercise of diverse religious practices in a democratic society. Each of the main categories is subsequently broken down and examined in-depth by an expert in the field. Discussions include an explanation of the complexities of religion and state in the United States, encompassing separation, integration, and accommodation, as well as past and present religious literacy and civil liberties, and an examination of violence and nonviolence, extremism and moderation, in Islam. This compilation of essays will fascinate those with an interest in the complex relationship between religion and politics. 606 $aFreedom of religion$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aDemocracy$xReligious aspects$vCongresses 606 $aViolence$xReligious aspects$vCongresses 606 $aReligious fundamentalism$vCongresses 615 0$aFreedom of religion 615 0$aDemocracy$xReligious aspects 615 0$aViolence$xReligious aspects 615 0$aReligious fundamentalism 676 $a323.44/2/0973 701 $aOdell-Scott$b David W$01870446 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974406203321 996 $aDemocracy and religion$94478911 997 $aUNINA
