The Culture of Disbelief: How American Law and Politics

The Culture of Disbelief: How American Law and Politics Trivialize Religious Devotion

The Culture Of Disbelief hasÂ Â been the subject of an enormous amount of mediaÂ Â attention from the first moment it was published.Â Â Hugely successful in hardcover, the Anchor paperbackÂ Â is sure to find a large audience as theÂ Â ever-increasing, enduring debate about the relationship ofÂ Â church and state in America continues. In TheÂ Â Culture Of Disbelief, Stephen CarterÂ Â explains how we can preserve the vital separation ofÂ Â church and state while embracing rather thanÂ Â trivializing the faith of millions of citizens orÂ Â treating religious believers with disdain. What makesÂ Â Carter's work so intriguing is that he uses liberalÂ Â means to arrive at what are often consideredÂ Â conservative ends. Explaining how preserving a specialÂ Â role for religious communities can strengthen ourÂ Â democracy, The Culture Of DisbeliefÂ Â recovers the long tradition of liberal religiousÂ Â witness (for example, the antislavery,Â Â antisegregation, and Vietnam-era antiwar movements). CarterÂ Â argues that the problem with the 1992 RepublicanÂ Â convention was not the fact ofÂ Â open religious advocacy, but the politicalÂ Â positions being advocated.
