Political Science Faculty Articles and Research
Scholars of American civil religion (ACR) have paid insufficient attention to the micro-level processes through which civil religious ideas have historically influenced beliefs and behavior.

I survey these representations, which are largely created by men—until the 20th century. I discuss pre-historical …
