There, a community conflict pitted a group of conservative evangelicals, a sympathetic federal judge, and a handful of conservative intellectuals against a religious agnostic opposed to prayer in schools, and a school system accused of promoting a religion called Ìsecular humanism.Ì The twists in the Mobile conflict speak to the changes and continuities that marked the relationship of 1980sÌ religious conservatism to democracy, the courts, and the Constitution. By alternately focusing its gaze on the local conflict and related events in Washington, DC, this book weaves a captivating narrative. Historians, political scientists, and constitutional lawyers will find, in RubinÌs study, a challenging new perspective on the history of the Christian Right in the United States." --Book jacket and page i. 600 10 $a Jaffree, Ishmael $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Smith, Douglas T. $x Trials, litigation, etc. 610 10 $a Mobile County (Ala.). $b Board of School Commissioners $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Hand, W.
