By what criteria do the justices make these holdings?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This analysis reaches beyond legal doctrines and focuses on four important aspects of change in the American religious landscape: increasing religious diversity; the rise of secularism; the fast growing political influence of gay and lesbian groups; and the pushback from conservative Christians caused by these trends. The author examines how these changes nation-wide have influenced the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts in dealing with church-state cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerold Waltman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476671478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476671475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.20d","brand":"Jerold Waltman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445113303295,"sku":"9781476671475","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08883d78-dfd8-457e-910b-9608cff8f2ad.jpg?v=1777216632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/church-and-state-in-the-jerold-waltman-9781476671475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
