Satisfactory Essays

In "Unto Caesar: Religious Groups That Have Allied Themselves With Politicians, And Vice Versa, Have Ignored At Their Peril The Lessons Of Roger Williams And U. S. History" Fishman starts off with an issue, which was and has become more of a problem today. Fishman writes about the issue of serration of church and state, which didn’t seem to be as big of a deal until the Bush administration was in office. Fishman states, “Fortunately for Americans, past presidents as a rule have sought to honor this neutrality. Today, however, the Bush administration, working with certain religious denominations, seeks to repudiate it” (36). He then begins with the history of Roger Williams and his contributions to religion and the separation of state and church.
