Publisher's Synopsis
God In The Constitution is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll that explores the role of religion in the formation of the United States Constitution. In this book, Ingersoll argues that the Constitution was not founded on the principles of Christianity, but rather on the principles of reason and secularism. He provides historical evidence to support his claim, citing the writings of the founding fathers and the text of the Constitution itself. Ingersoll also addresses the controversy surrounding the phrase ""under God"" in the Pledge of Allegiance and argues that it should be removed. He concludes that the Constitution is a secular document that guarantees the freedom of religion, but does not promote any particular religion. This book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the separation of church and state in the United States.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
