In a revelatory look at the birth of our nation, Forrest Church re-creates our first great culture war - a tumultuous yet nearly forgotten conflict that raged from George Washington's presidency to James Monroe's. Would we be a nation under God, or with liberty, and justice for all?" "Religion was the most divisive issue in the nation's early presidential elections. Adams blamed his defeat in 1800 on his proclamation of a national Christian Fast Day, which led to riots in the street. With the Bible and the Declaration of Independence competing for American affections, the Fourth of July itself became a battleground, with conservative pastors scorning the "Red, White, and Blue" as anti-Christian and anti-American, while Baptists, on the religious left, led the vanguard for church-state separation. The religious political wars reached a vicious peak during the War of 1812. But that conflict also helped shape our modern sense of church/state relations when the American victory finally drove New England's Christian right to withdraw from electoral politics. No longer entangled in each other's business, church and state both flourished."--BOOK JACKET.
