Church and State in the Roberts Court: Christian Conservatism and Social Change in Ten Cases, 2005–2018


Add your own review!

Overview

Religious liberty is often called “the first freedom.” For many years, few decisions made by the Supreme Court have been more significant for ordinary Americans than those concerning issues of church and state. By what criteria do the justices make these holdings? This analysis reaches beyond legal doctrines and focuses on four important aspects of change in the American religious landscape: increasing religious diversity; the rise of secularism; the growing political influence of gay and lesbian groups; and the pushback from conservative Christians engendered by these trends. The author examines how these have influenced how the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts has dealt with church-state cases.
