He shows that despite reactionary fire-breathers and fanatics, religion has often been a progressive force in American politics, and explains why the policy of a separate church and state has, ironically, made the position of the church stronger.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMarked by the extraordinary quality of observation that has defined Will’s work, \u003ci\u003eUnder God\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich, original look at why religion and politics will never be separate in the United States.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154662211824,"sku":"9781439129609","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781439129609_p0.jpg?v=1763756921","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781439129609","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
