Religion-talk has been a ready vehicle for these conflicts because it is built on enduring contradictions within our core political values. The Constitution treats religion as something to be confined behind a wall, but in public communications, the Framers treated religion as the foundation of the American republic. Ever since, Americans have translated disagreements on many other issues into an endless debate about the role of religion in our public life. Built around a set of compelling narratives-George Washington's battle with Quaker pacifists; the fight of Mormons and Catholics for equality with Protestants; Teddy Roosevelt's concept of land versus the Lakota's concept; the creation-evolution controversy; and the struggle over sexuality-this book shows how religion, throughout American history, has symbolized, but never resolved, our deepest political questions. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Religion as we know it : the career of a contradiction -- Walls and foundations : Washington, Jefferson, and religious double-talk -- Protestants, Catholics, and Mormons : religion and the struggle for citizenship -- Nicholas Black Elk and Theodore Roosevelt : religion and the fight for land -- Creationists and evolutionists : religion and the question of human origins -- Religion, race, and science : the battle over sexuality -- Conclusion : heart conditions. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Religion and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093842 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402013813.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318011905.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9B5E45A0CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
