However, it's not typed directly from any one (or many) sources. I got some ideas from: [i]American Civil Religion: An Assessment - Gehrig[/i] a. general definition of transcendent-civil religion b. role in American education c. and nationalism [i]Civil Religion and the Choice for President: Nixon in '72 - Wimberley[/i] a. and education, nationalism b. distinction from denominational religion [i]Globalization and the Religious Nationalism: Self, Identity, and the Search for Ontological Security (Kinnvall)[/i] a. group homogeneity and heterogeneity and the effects of nationalism on the former [i]Citizenship and Civic Engagement (Theiss-Morse and Hibbing)[/i] a. effects of group homogeneity on civic engagement b. tendency of persons to choose one group over the other in relationship to religious, nationalistic, preference .[i]..Spatial Variation in Tolerance: The Effects of Education and Religion (Moore and Ovadia)[/i] a. Connecting education, nationalism, denomination to tolerance level Most of this was just conclusions taken from the articles (except "Globalization") and I don't think my civics textbook even [i]mentions[/i] civil religion. It's just a subject that interests me. Many people really have no idea what a civil religion is, so I thought I'd type a very brief introduction. -- I don't really think it was too hard to understand my point. Then again, sometimes you sound like Richard Dawkin's parrot :) (kidding) [quote]What I am saying is this: that the transcendent civil religion should be recognized alongside denominational religions...[/quote] and as such, should be treated accordingly. It's typed plain as day.
