About the book

Today we associate liberal thought and politics with secularism. But the role of religion in American politics has always been far more complex than today's debates would suggest. American democracy was intended to be more than just a political system, and in The Religion of Democracy, historian Amy Kittelstrom shows how religion and democracy have worked together as universal ideals in American culture. Sweeping and ambitious, it is a lively narrative of quintessentially American ideas as they were forged, debated, and remade across our history.
