The clash between the religious right and the secular left undermines any serious debate about the role of religion in American public life. Strident rhetoric polarizes the nation and undermines the potential for the many other voices of America's pluralistic society to be heard. By contrast, this volume provides a political and moral framework through which Americans from diverse religious perspectives can engage in a conversation about the common good. In so doing, this volume turns away from the divisiveness in the current debate and celebrates America's religious diversity, demonstrating that religious pluralism is actually one of democracy's basic building blocks.
