Why the religious right is wrong about separation of church & state
Rob Boston (Author)
"In this new, expanded edition of Why the Religious Right is Wrong About Separation of Church & State, journalist Robert Boston challenges the zealots of the Religious Right and debunks their claims about church-state separation. Tracing the development of church-state relations from the Middle Ages to the modern era, Boston shows how the principle protects religion and explains why America's founders were such ardent advocates of the idea. Completely revised and updated, this second edition is packed with information to help activists defend church-state separation. It reviews the evolution of separation of church and state in the United States and explains, in simple and straightforward language, what the Supreme Court has really said about issues like religion in public schools, tax aid to religious institutions, and the limits of religious freedom. Boston concludes by giving readers clear strategies to defend church-state separation from Religious Right attacks."--Page 4 of cover
