Publisher's Description
In this book Ira Lupu and Robert Tuttle break through the unproductive American debate over competing religious rights. They present an original theory that makes the secular character of the American government, rather than a set of individual rights, the centerpiece of religious liberty in the United States. Through a comprehensive treatment of relevant constitutional themes and through their attention to both historical concerns and contemporary controversies — including issues often in the news — Lupu and Tuttle define and defend the secular character of U.S. government.

“For well over a decade now, the scholarly team of Ira Lupu and Robert Tuttle has been a valuable and distinctive voice in conversations about religion, law, and government. Secular Government, Religious People reflects the mature, comprehensive culmination of that collaboration. . . . This is a formidable book that will have to be reckoned with.”
“Lupu and Tuttle have long been among the most important legal commentators on American religious liberty and the separation of church and state. In this book they brilliantly synthesize their prior work into a structural interpretation of the Establishment Clause that is historically and textually sound. . . . A major work that all scholars of law and religion will need to read and consider.”
