Description
The relation between religion and liberal democracy in America has long been vexed and complex-and crucial to what it is and aspires to be. Amid increasingly contentious exchanges over fundamentalism, abortion rights, secularism, and pluralism, Bane reminds us of the critical role that religion plays in the health and well-being of a democracy.
