    Amazon.com: American Gospel: God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation: Books: Jon Meacham

    re-dotting.

    Quoted: Derek said: "It uses the founders' own words, for the most part, and grants some real perspective to an issue as prevalent today as it was then, and will be tomorrow. I strongly recommend this book if answers to any of the following questions interest you:
    - Were the founders Christians?
    - Is America a Christian nation?
    - Is separation of church and state intended to protect the church, the state, or both?
    - What is the difference between private and public religion?
    - Why are references to "God" so common in American politics, despite the supposed "wall" between church and state?
    I certainly had some of these questions, and this book brought much clarity to the issue. Highly recommended."
