Marie A. Eisenstein

Religion and the Politics of Tolerance (eBook, PDF)

How Christianity Builds Democracy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Challenging a widespread belief that religious people are politically intolerant, Marie Ann Eisenstein offers compelling evidence to the contrary. In this surprising and significant book, she thoroughly re-examines previous studies and presents new research to support her argument that there is, in fact, a positive correlation between religious belief and practice and political tolerance in the United States. Eisenstein utilizes sophisticated new analytical tools to re-evaluate earlier data and offers persuasive new statistical evidence to support her claim that religiousness and political tolerance do, indeed, mix-and that religiosity is not the threat to liberal democracy that it is often made out to be.
