Frank Lambert explains why this happened, offering in the process a synthesis of American history from the first British arrivals through Thomas Jefferson's controversial presidency. Lambert recognizes that two sets of spiritual fathers defined the place of religion in early America: what Lambert calls the Planting Fathers, who brought Old World ideas and dreams of building a "City upon a Hill," and the Founding Fathers, who determined the constitutional arrangement of religion in the new republic. While the former proselytized the "one true faith," the latter emphasized religious freedom over religious purity. Lambert locates this shift in the mid-eighteenth century. In the wake of evangelical revival, immigration by new dissenters, and population expansion, there emerged a marketplace of religion characterized by sectarian competition, pluralism, and widened choice. During the American Revolution, dissenters found sympathetic lawmakers who favored separating church and state, and the free marketplace of religion gained legal status as the Founders began the daunting task of uniting thirteen disparate colonies. To avoid discord in an increasingly pluralistic and contentious society, the Founders left the religious arena free of government intervention save for the guarantee of free exercise for all. Religious people and groups were also free to seek political influence, ensuring that religion's place in America would always be a contested one, but never a state-regulated one. 650 0 $a Church and state $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Freedom of religion $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 6 $a glise et tat $z tats-Unis $x Histoire $y 18e sicÌle. 650 6 $a Libert Ìreligieuse $z tats-Unis $x Histoire $y 18e sicÌle. 650 17 $a Founding Fathers. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Godsdienstvrijheid. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Kerk en staat. $2 gtt 651 0 $a United States $x Religion $y To 1800. 651 6 $a tats-Unis $x Religion $y Jusqu' Ì1800. 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/prin032/2002024346.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/prin031/2002024346.html 941 $a 20 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724055716.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525034121.0 952 $l UVAX975 $d 20240215012340.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119043408.0 952 $l PYAX423 $d 20191001012043.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926082302.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230023722.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160820045829.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415014414.0 952 $l OQAX737 $d 20120607050641.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l N5UX522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UWAX953 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9A1104C2B0211DE8760C407A8D7520A 994 $a C0 $b UIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
