Book Review of Sacred and Secular

Here's a fairly interesting review by Os Guiness of Sacred and Secular: Religion and Politics Worldwide by Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart. It re-hashes a lot of the stuff we hear from other sources, but it's a decent overview. Link. Excerpt:

The condition of religion in the modern world is especially crucial to a society that links religion and public life in any way–and nowhere more crucial than in the United States. Religion in America has flourished not so much in spite of the separation of church and state as because of it. Far from setting up “Christian America,” or establishing any orthodoxy, religious or secular, the Framers envisioned the relationship of faith and freedom in what might be called a golden triangle: Freedom requires virtue, virtue requires faith (of some sort), and faith requires freedom. If the Framers were right, then as faiths go, so goes freedom–and so goes the Republic.
