How To Be Secular: A Call to Arms for Religious Freedom-Fast Shipping

Description

Founding father ThomasJefferson believed that “religion is a matter which lies solely betweenMan and his God,” but these days many people seem to have forgotten thisideal. Conservatives claim America is a “Christian nation” and urgethat laws be structured around religious convictions. Hardcore atheists,meanwhile, seek to undermine and attack religion at all levels. Surelythere must be a middle ground.

In How to Be Secular,Jacques Berlinerblau issues a call to the moderates—those who are tiredof the belligerence on the fringes—that we return to America’s longtradition of secularism, which seeks to protect both freedom from andfor religion. He looks at the roots of secularism and examines how itshould be bolstered and strengthened so that Americans of all stripescan live together peacefully.

“Jacques Berlinerblau mounts acareful, judicious, and compelling argument that America needs moresecularists . . . The author’s argument merits a wide hearing and willchange the way we think and talk about religious freedom.” —RandallBalmer, author of Thy Kingdom Come: How the Religious Right Distorts Faith and Threatens America
