I decided to look at a few articles that contained material pertaining to religious confrontation in the United States. This article in particular offered more recent conflicts and took an in-depth look at more Republican issues with religion. Many issues covered have been over indulged (stem cells, filibusters, etc.) but then an interesting point came about that he discussed. America is highly religious and secular at the same time. For people to coerce with relative harmony with a wide range of religious beliefs is incredible.

This article further develops the involvement of Christianity into the development of the American Constitution. He contends that the U.S. was built upon ideals and that over the years we have slowly severed our Christian ties. He site specific examples such as Congress permitting the publications of Bibles.
