| Sumario: | "Bleached Faith persuasively argues that victory is worse than defeat when people of faith seek to force religion into the public square. The Ten Commandments lose their meaning. Frosty the Snowman has to stand guard when the creche is displayed. And intelligent design reduces God to a second-rate engineer." "The freedom of religion we enjoy in the United. Stales, both, as a matter of law and practice, is extraordinary by any measure. But in recent years, the effort by some to challenge the long-held separation of church and state by imposing religion in the public sphere has caused more harm than good." "Steven Goldberg firmly maintains that, "if American. religion becomes a watered-down broth that is indistinguishable from consumerism and science, we will have no one to blame but ourselves." Americans on both sides of church-state issues will enjoy Goldberg's vigorous argument: In modern America, the gravest threat to real faith comes from those who would water down religion in order to win the dubious honor of forcing; it into public buildings and classrooms."--BOOK JACKET. |
