Synopsis
No current issue has so inflamed passions as the attempt by the religious right to dismantle the wall between church and state erected by the framers of the Constitution. In this lively polemic, two distinguished scholars of American political theory and religion challenge the claim that America was founded as a Christian nation. They show why the framers consciously avoided all mention of God in the Constitution--as a way of avoiding the bloody religious wars that engulfed Europe, and the separation of church and state was seen as a way of guaranteeing religious diversity--not hindering it.

Industry Reviews
"'The Godless Constitution' is a good, readable primer on the role of religion in early American history."
Washington Post Book World - Matthew Dallek (02/18/1996)

"...[a] useful book...Kramnick and Moore remind us that it took a great struggle for the framers of the Constitution and other early American figures to create a nation in which there was no religious test for office-holding."
New Republic - Nicholas Lemann (07/08/1996)
