In <i>The  Culture Of Disbelief</i>, Stephen Carter  explains how we can preserve the vital separation of  church and state while embracing rather than  trivializing the faith of millions of citizens or  treating religious believers with disdain. What makes  Carter's work so intriguing is that he uses liberal  means to arrive at what are often considered  conservative ends. Explaining how preserving a special  role for religious communities can strengthen our  democracy, <i>The Culture Of Disbelief</i>  recovers the long tradition of liberal religious  witness (for example, the antislavery,  antisegregation, and Vietnam-era antiwar movements). Carter  argues that the problem with the 1992 Republican  convention was not the <i>fact</i> of  open religious advocacy, but the <i>political  positions</i> being advocated. 1503467 1993 The Culture of Disbelief total:53|5:10|4:23|3:16|2:3|1:1| 53 197 100 12 2 1 false false Sat Mar 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 01 12:35:06 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 29 05:45:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 21 08:33:13 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 15 06:18:18 -0700 2009
