The founding fathers' words, \"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,\" are the constitutional means of ensuring, however imperfectly, the American freedom to stand for something sacred. In his analysis, Goldford ably demonstrates that the very nature of these religion clauses establishes protection not for \u003ci\u003ereligion\u003c\/i\u003e but for \u003ci\u003ereligious freedom\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Constitution of Religious Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e argues that religious identity inheres not in the nation, but in the individual citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis J.
