Description: |
Looking back at the late eighteenth century, this book shows that the United States was founded not on Christian principles at all but on Enlightenment ideas. This book makes a contribution to the debate over the separation of church and state and the role (or lack thereof) of religion in government. |
Synopsis: |
In her lively refutation of modern claims about America's religious origins, Brooke Allen looks back at the late eighteenth century and shows decisively that the United States was founded not on Christian principles at all but on Enlightenment ideas. Enlivened by generous portions of the founders' own incomparable prose, Moral Minority makes an impassioned and scintillating contribution to the ongoing debate-more heated now than ever before-over the separation of church and state and the role (or lack thereof) of religion in government. |
