RELIGION AND SECULARISM IN AMERICA
Begin your work by going to the link for the textbook “Keywords” that is in the syllabus. There are two keywords this week: Religion and Secularism. Read both. Both works need citing in any essays assigned.
Look through the support materials…especially the pieceS on Tolerance in America, The Faith Timeline in America, and The New York Times article.
For this week’s essay, you are to write (2-3 pages) about the meaning of the two keywords, refering to the timeline, discussing tolerance, and considering the idea behind the New York Times article.
