A historian and ordained Episcopal priest offers everything you need to know for shaping and defending your own beliefs on the role of religion in American life

Filled with stories from America's struggle for religious freedom most readers have never heard before and perfect for fans of Jesus and John Wayne and On Tyranny


The 1st Amendment to the US Constitution codified the principle that government should play no role in favoring or supporting any religion, while allowing free exercise of all religions (including unbelief). More than 200 years later, the results from this experiment are overwhelming: The separation of church and state has shielded the government from religious factionalism, and the United States boasts a diverse religious culture unmatched in the world.

But changes have been taking place at an accelerating pace in recent years. The current Supreme Court has shifted away from excluding the influence and practice of religion at public institutions and in our laws and policies, and moved dramatically toward protecting the inclusion and promotion of religion in publicly funded undertakings.

Moreover, adherents to a Christian Nationalism ideology have grown more vocal and emboldened, and are increasingly moving into positions of power.

Randall Balmer, one of the premier historians of religion in America, reviews both the history of the separation of church and state and various attempts to undermine that wall. Despite the fact that the 1st Amendment and the separation of church and state has served the nation remarkably well, he argues, its future is by no means assured.

Great quality of product
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream has always been my favorite because it has great quality and effectiveness, I bought it two times and before I used to wear it in the summer and it did not make my skin oily. It is lighter, yet moisturizing if you know what I mean.

This is the new formula, with a blue cap
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream has been a great basic moisturizer for use with acne creams (.25% tretinoin, in my case). You may notice some reviewers saying it's fake because of the blue cap and the fact that it just says "soothing," but that's the new packaging. You can see that on the Avene website. This doesn't have the "luxe" feel of some other brands, but this did the job by keeping my skin moisturized and acne free. When I am in the mood to buy something else, I usually buy something else, but this is the best budget option - definitely better than any of the drugstore brands.

Leaves skin clean and soft
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Leaves skin clean and soft and much to my surprise did not make my skin break out even though more traditional cleansers often do. This is a really nice product, better than more expensive department store brands I've tried.

Amazing product that I continue to order again and again!
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Amazing product that I continue to order again and again! I love the formula of this product! It is perfect for using as a first wash to gently remove makeup or dirt build up before washing with another cleanser. It is great for people with dry skin or if you wear a lot of powder makeup or powder on top of foundation, and it is great for removing mascara and heavy eye makeup as well. It is great for sensitive skin, and I feel like it is super gentle & made with clean ingredients. Bioderma is a brand I trust, and this is a product I will continue to restock!
