Culture of Disbelief How American Law and Politics Trivialize Religious Devotion

"It is gratifying to come upon a book that is quiet in tone and reasoned in argument, and that consciously seeks the middle ground--especially when it deals with topics around which the most strident debates have raged. 'The Culture of Disbelief' is such a book..... [Carter's] considerable achievement is rooted in his capacity to think through these crosscurrents and to empathize with people who do not share his political or religious views....A thought-provoking and thoroughly useful book. To those who have maintained, with some justification, that the vital center, the middle ground of civility and reasonability, is disappearing, Stephen Carter can be cited as a counterargument."Carter, Stephen L. is the author of 'Culture of Disbelief How American Law and Politics Trivialize Religious Devotion', published 1994 under ISBN 9780385474986 and ISBN 0385474989.
