TY - GEN T1 - Rediscovering America's sacred ground : public religion and pursuit of the good in a pluralistic America T2 - SUNY series, religion and American public life. A1 - McGraw, Barbara A. LA - English PP - Albany PB - State University of New York Press YR - 2003 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocm55140612 AB - "Returning to the ideas of John Locke and the Founders themselves, Barbara A. McGraw examines the debate about the role of religion in American public life and unravels the confounded rhetoric on all sides. She reveals that no group has been standing on proper ground and that all sides have misused terminology (religion/secular), dichotomies (public/private), and concepts (separation of church and state) in ways that have little relevance to the original intentions of the founders. She rediscovers a theology underlying the founding documents of the nation that is neither anyone's particular religion nor one requiring religion."--Jacket OP - 241 CN - BL2525 .M42 2003eb SN - 1417506857 SN - 9781417506859 SN - 0791457060 SN - 9780791457061 SN - 0791457052 SN - 9780791457054 SN - 9780791486955 SN - 0791486958 KW - Civil religion : United States.
