Summary:
" This analysis reaches beyond legal doctrines and focuses on four important aspects of change in the American religious landscape: increasing religious diversity; the rise of secularism; the growing political influence of gay and lesbian groups. The author examines how these have influenced how the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts has dealt with church-state cases"-- Provided by publisher.
