Review:
Balmer traces the culture's journey from the days of Kennedy and his famous speech promising to keep religion out of politics to George W. Bush trolling explicitly for believers' votes . . . Balmer wisely counsels skepticism that candidates' religious statements foretell moral governance.--The Boston Globe

Balmer traces the culture s journey from the days of Kennedy and his famous speech promising to keep religion out of politics to George W. Bush trolling explicitly for believers votes . . . Balmer wisely counsels skepticism that candidates religious statements foretell moral governance.--The Boston Globe"

A thoughtful analysis of the nine presidents from Kennedy to George W. Bush. Balmer contends that no clear connection exists between a president's faith and personal morality and his policies. . . Balmer's critique of American Christian's self-delusion and hubris is commendable.--Books & Culture
