RELI 211 Religion in U.S. Law and Politics

In this class, we will look at legal cases, cultural representations, and historical documents pertinent to the issue of religion and politics to understand what secularism is, in the U.S., how it has changed over time, and how it has been imagined; we will build a website narrating these developments. We will also take up what these conceptions mean for our current political landscape as well as broader theoretical questions about the relation of religion to the state.
