This blog is a forum to share ideas with readers on current issues from the perspective of "America's Sacred Ground," a term I coined in 2000 (as Jon Meacham noted in his New York Times Book Review on Christmas Day 2005) for the values and political framework on which the American founders grounded the nation. They are not based on strict secularism nor are they based on the interpretation of the founding by the religious right.
Rather, at heart of the nation is religious pluralism, which arises from the values of liberty, equal dignity, conscience, and participation embodied in the founding documents of the United States.
Click here for more information about my books on America's Sacred Ground. There you can also download my "Introduction to America's Sacred Ground," which is Chapter 1 of Taking Religious Pluralism Seriously: Spiritual Politics on America's Sacred Ground, my co-edited volume with with Jo Renee Formicola.
