A Secular View of Religion in the State: And the Bible in the Public Schools (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The writer, in common with many of his fellow citizens, has long looked with apprehension on a foreign religious element, which has assumed large proportions in this country; and he has been desirous that some just and peaceful remedy might be devised, to prevent a national calamity from this source. An intelligent friend, retired from politics, and all public strife, and who had meditated much on the subject, communicated in a letter addressed to the writer, an amendment to the first article of the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which will be found in the following pages, on the subject of a foreign hierarchical establishment in this country. The writer, after much reflection, esteemed this proposition of sufficient value to merit public attention, and communicated it by letter to several friends; intending if they approved it, to assign some reasons in its favor, if permitted, in the New York Evening Post; but meant to write anonymously, as he was completely retired from public life, and averse to public notoriety. One letter, however, escaped, and found its way into the paper referred to, with the writers name in full; and thus committed, he felt the more constrained to assign his reasons at length, in support of the proposition.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines a proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting states from establishing a religion and preventing the free exercise of any. The author bases this in Americaâs founding principles of religious freedom and the inherent conflict between democratic government and theocracy. Expanding on historical examples of religious persecution, the author argues that this amendment is vital to protect against foreign religious influence undermining the countryâs democratic institutions and civil liberties. While acknowledging the benefits of religious instruction, the author contends that morality, rather than tenets of faith, should form the basis of public education. They conclude that safeguarding religious freedom requires strict separation between church and state, making this book a crucial read for anyone concerned about the role of religion in society and the preservation of democratic values.
