Two Books of Interest - Church & State Issues

Just wanted to jump into the interlude and recommend 2 books by Stephen Carter, a Yale law professor, on the topic of how religion fits into political debates.

The first is The Culture of Disbelief: How American Law & Politics Trivialize Religious Devotion.  I loved this book when i first read it about a decade ago.

The second is God's Name in Vain: The Rights & Wrongs of Religion in Politics.  Not as good as the first, but still an interesting read.  Carter conveys an argument that is closely aligned with my views.
