5.0 out of 5 starsA diferent look at the separation of church and state in America
By J. Michalski on September 30, 2008
Format: Paperback
Dr. Sullivan gives a new look at what the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause mean in America. The case in Boca Raton clearly shows that the judicial system is at odds protecting our religious liberties and trying to sustain the idea that the state can not endorse any religion. We also get a look at the bias that some judges have against religions that are not of their own. A great read for students of law, religion, and the humanities.

5.0 out of 5 starsRaises Important Questions
By Peter P. Fuchs on October 1, 2011
Format: Paperback
This book seems to raise important practical questions about what might be called the push-comes-to-shove end of religious freedom. The author's reasoning is very interesting and clear. It is not a question of the well established rights to believe and act in non-harmful ways in society based on one's creed or philosophy. It concerns the more particular question of how religion can be defined, and whether the state can really do it. Hence, the title is not quite as much a sop to shock-value effort as it seems. Of course, one of the signs that the book contains some significant reasoning, instead of one more book of legal philosophy that treads water for hundreds of pages, is that reactionaries don't like the obvious conclusion the author draws from it. Namely, equality. Reactionaries are all for freedom and pluralism, as long as their point of view is in some way ascendent and proscriptive of law. If not, they find a way to argue against it. And you have to give some of the Catholic reactionaries, such as those at the Mirror of Justice, points for creativity, There they are all in cahoots with Rick Garnett's "Natural Law Manifestos" the dude's flamboyant sense of things still makes me chuckle) to implement a conservative Catholic agenda for a society that charmingly clearly has little interest in it, at least explicitly. Further, they are supporting and representing a legal theory for an institution that not only had precious little interest in any form of religious freedom for most of its history, but fought it in every single way.Read more ›
