Negative Positive
Title: Vast oversimplification
Review: Feldman attempts to "solve" church/state tensions by dividing the country into two camps -- secularists and evangelicals. This starting premise dooms the book. He has bought into the evangelicals' rhetoric, rather than any actual array of beliefs on these issues. Those in opposition to the evangelicals are not anti-religion, as the term "secularist" implies, but rather in the vast majority of circumstances are themselves religious. The debate over relgion in the U.S. cannot be reduced to this simple dichotomy. This is an ivory tower worldview, untouched by empirical reality.
