What does it mean to be American and an atheist? Does the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protect religious liberty to all nonbelievers?
In a Chats in the Stacks book talk, Isaac Kramnick, Cornell’s Richard J. Schwartz Professor of Government Emeritus, and R. Laurence Moore, Cornell’s Howard A. Newman Professor of American Studies Emeritus, present their new book, Godless Citizens in a Godly Republic: Atheists in American Public Life (W. W. Norton & Company, 1st edition Aug. 21, 2018). They discuss the fascinating history and the legal cases that have questioned religious supremacy in America.
