Americans are simultaneously one of the most religious people on earth and prone to conflict and war. Ray Haberski is interested in how this paradox has shaped the nation’s civil religion.

This is a book that asks big questions and listens to the ideas of big thinkers. Listen to the interview, buy the book, and then read it.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
