Description: The United States is founded upon the principles of freedom of religion, although it has been difficult at times to understand and apply those principles. Phillip Hammond argues that the Constitution assumes a radical religious liberty, which protects the convictions of individual Americans, whether or not those convictions are explicitly religious.

This book is an excellent guide to the church-state debate of today and deepens that discussion by examining the root causes of disagreement about what freedom of religion means in America.
