Description: "Challenging a widespread belief that religious people are politically intolerant, Marie A. Eisenstein offers evidence to the contrary. She reexamines previous studies and presents new research to support her argument that there is, in fact, a positive correlation between religious belief and practice and political tolerance in the United States."--Jacket.
