Very well-formed ideas. The authors are very correct when they say that a true merging of the public and the religious is always dangerous. While each may rightly effect the other, the intentional introduction of the religious into public life is clearly something to be avoided. I further agree with the authors theory that one can be religious and believe in the secular nature of our government, but putting this theory into practice may prove difficult.

The foundation of a secular America is a subject worthy of attention but this was repetitive and offered very little that I hadn't heard or read elsewhere.

Wow!! I am so glad to be done with this book. While I certainly learned a lot, stretching my own opinions and the reasons behind them, I often found the authors tended to be full of their own opinion and blind in many areas. They bash Pat Robinson and President George W. Bush like punching bags, but also refer to Hilary Clinton with some pretty rude language that I wouldn't repeat.
Despite my general dislike for the book, I think it makes a challenging read and am greatful I had to read it for school.
