Religion, Freedom, and American Democracy

Catalog description

Explores the role of religion in public life and varied understandings of the relation between religion and freedom. Investigates these differing understandings by considering legal arguments proposing freedom of religion, and the challenges of religious pluralism; arguments urging freedom from religion, in defense of secular public life; and through a rigorous historical and conceptual examination of the great issue of our time, the fate of democracy in America and beyond.
