5.0 out of 5 starsAmerica's "civil religion" trumps Catholicism, Protestantism and Judaism
By T. Patrick Killough on August 1, 2008
Format: Hardcover
In NO OFFENSE: CIVIL RELIGION AND PROTESTANT TASTE (1978), Professor John Murray Cuddihy makes a simple, straightforward case. America has created its own special "civil religion" and that creation has driven religions imported from Europe out of the public forum.

Civil religion is about behavior, not belief. It shuns depths, lives entirely on the surface of American social interactions. Its few commandments demand respect for the other fellow's religious point of view, without ever allowing him to explain what it is.

Once upon a time Roman Catholic Christianity in Europe was something virtually everyone (except Jews) were born into. It claimed to be the sole channel of salvation and all men were invited to be baptized into it and never, ever leave it.

Similarly, in Europe Jews usually lived in isolation, kept a strict, elaborate code of behaving and dining, did not intermarry with goyim and believed that they were God's Chosen People.

After Christianity's Reformation, Protestants started out in America confidently asserting that they alone had found God's unique intentions for how to be worshipped, studied and theologized about. Sects, notably Pilgrims and Puritans wanted liberty of worship for themselves, but for no one else.

In America, immigrant Catholics moved from despised minority to being socially tolerated, making up with Jews and Protestants one of three accepted "denominations." By the late 1950s some Protestant theologians had given up on converting Jews. Jews were willing to build both Jewish, Catholic and Protestant chapels at Brandeis University. After the Second Vatican Council (1962-63) Catholics began to sense that God wanted there to be Jews forever. Inter-faith movements morphed into ecumenism. Differences were played down.Read more ›
