Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the implementation of religious education in the wake of compulsory education in the US and the impact this has on democracy. It looks at the influence and approach of Judaism, Protestantism, and Roman Catholicism on religious education, discussing how separation of church and state affects the teaching of religion and how these factors shape the practice of religion in the country. The author explores the role of the state in ensuring citizens have a high degree of intelligence, and how the teaching of religion should be a core component of that, particularly as the US assumes a more significant international role. The book also presents historical context for religious education, going back to Jesus as a model and through major world events that have shaped its development. The author ultimately stresses democracy's need for people instilled with faith, the kind of faith that comes from the teachings outlined in this book, in order to achieve social and political goals.
