- Summary:
- "One Electorate under God arises from the idea that public deliberation is more honest--and more democratic--when officials are open and reflective about the interactions between their religious convictions and their commitments in the secular realm. This volume--the first of its kind--seeks to promote a greater understanding of American thinking about faith and public office in a pluralistic society.
