Jordan and Leland talk with Miles Smith about his new book Religion and Republic. They cover all sorts of topics like: What should we think of establishment religion? When a pre civil war American said that America was a “Christian nation”, what did they mean? How is this different than the way we use the term today? How can a government be disestablished but still protect and perpetuate institutional Christianity? How could American Christians think the Christian faith has positive effects on civil society without rejecting religious liberty? And more!
