For a Christian America

"When the Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, they debated the establishment of a state religion and a separation of church and state. Over two hundred years later, the debate over the place of religion in American society continues and nearly every major societal issue seems religiously charged. Carrying the banner for an increased focus on religion and leading the attack are the fundamentalists from the Christian Right, those who seek to return America to its "Christian heritage."" "Who are these religious conservatives? How did the Christian Right originate? How has it evolved over time? And why has this group become so politically powerful?" "Based on more than twenty-five years of research and candid interviews, For a "Christian America" objectively traces the growth of the Religious Right in America from its humble grassroots beginnings in the early 1970s to its present status as a powerful cultural force with political ramifications."--BOOK JACKET.
