Excerpt from Religion and American Democracy In View of the prevailing controversies and rivalries in the world it is appropriate to attempt a definition of the relationship between religion and American democracy. Such a definition is here presented as nearly as possible in the words used by the leaders and formulators of the ideas and by the generations of citizens of the United States whose thoughts and actions have been controlled by them.

Excerpt from The Nature and Form of the American Government Founded in the Christian Religion And this because the Constitution, in their fancy, omits to establish, as by human positive law, that god exists; and, which would then ultimately and inevitably come to pass, take the Church of christ, as was done by Roman-imperial and by Norman policy, under the Oppressive and malign patronage of the civil service.

Sanford Kessler offers a provocative and timely analysis of Alexis de Tocqueville's views on the relationship between Christianity and American democracy. These views are central to Tocqueville's discussions of the moral requirements of freedom and the tasks of democratic statesmanship. Tocqueville's thinking about American religion is highly relevant to contemporary debates regarding America's origins, the current strength of American Christianity, and the proper role of religion in American public life. Kessler skillfully demonstrates how Tocqueville incorporates his ideas into an analysis of the American character, a factor in American politics that he considered more important than the Constitution. This book will challenge the thinking of all Americans concerned with religious-political issues and with the prospects for freedom.

Excerpt from Religious Education and American Democracy President Wilson says we must make the world safe for democracy. The safety of democracy demands intelligence and godliness. The present world war will have been waged in vain if it hands democracy over to an ignorant and godless people. A democratic people must be able to think clearly and act righteously. The world will never be safe for democracy until intelligence and godliness are the common possessions of the whole human race. Democracies must learn how to make secular and religious education efficient and universal. The first chapter in this volume outlines the great system of public schools which the state is building in order that the masses of the people may have the grade of intelligence demanded for citizenship in a democracy. It also sketches the outline of a system of schools which I believe the church must build if the intelligence of the people is to be coupled with godliness. The succeeding chapters discuss in detail the problems involved in the realization of the proposed system of church schools for the American people.
