An award-winning scholar's sweeping history of American secularism, from Jefferson to Trump
The narrative explores the tension between the ideal of religious freedom and the historical reality of a "moral establishment" that enforced Protestant Christian values throughout much of American history. David Sehat reveals how laws were utilized to uphold a dominant moral framework, often marginalizing those of differing beliefs or secular viewpoints. The book chronicles the evolution of this moral establishment, highlighting its impact on American society and the ongoing struggle for true religious liberty.
