The Washington Post is running a review by Alan Wolfe of Ray Suarez’s The Holy Vote: The Politics of Faith in America. After some initial misgivings, Wolfe finds that the book handles its subject well.

Suarez, who identifies himself as a deeply religious person without giving specifics about his own faith, is offended by the Christian right’s efforts to identify their country with their faith, and he has no problem saying so. The result is a powerful reaffirmation of America’s greatest contribution to human liberty: the separation of church and state.
