Tocqueville and American Civic Culture


Who was Tocqueville?

He wrote: "The religious atmosphere of the country was the first thing that struck me on arrival in the United States." (p. 295 of Lawrence-Mayer ed.) See here for relevant data.

In June 2006, Barack Obama gave an important speech on religion in politics. See prepared text here.
