This is an intelligent and well-reasoned argument for the advancement of a secular America. Opponents attack the president of the United States for not being a real Christian. Bitter arguments erupt over whether the United States is or should be a Christian nation. The contentious issues are not just recent developments but were also topics of fierce debate in the late 18th century. "In Freedom We Trust" explores the issues from the two-centuries-long debate over religion and secularism in America. Taking an unabashedly atheist point of view, it argues that everyone - from evangelical Christian to ardent atheist - needs a secular America and separation of church and state. With a list of key dates related to the history of secular America, notes, bibliography, and glossary, "In Freedom We Trust" offers important facts and arguments for secular humanists and anyone with an interest in freedom of conscience.
