Abstract

The article presents a critique of the book "Religion and the Constitution: Establishment and Fairness," by Kent Greenawalt. It discusses the view of Greenawalt on the originally intended meaning of the U.S. Constitution (USC), how Greenawalt differentiates religion from nonreligion and their relation to the meaning and doctrine of the establishment clause in the USC. The author explores the logic on the role of fundamental beliefs in views about the proper relation of government to religion.
