In The Culture of Disbelief, Stephen L. Carter explains the vital separation of church and state while embracing rather than trivializing the faith of millions of citizens or treating religious believers with disdain. Carter uses liberal means to arrive at what are often considered conservative ends. Explaining how preserving a special role for religious communities can strengthen our democracy, The Culture of Disbelief recovers the long tradition of liberal religious witness.
Stephen L. Carter is the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law at Yale, where he has taught for more than 30 years.

He has published dozens of articles in law reviews, and many op-ed columns in the nation’s leading newspapers. He appears frequently on radio and television.
