Freedom in Religion or Freedom from Religion

This book explores the argument between Traditionalists and Secularists over religion and their very different understandings of the meaning of freedom. Does the old religion, the western tradition as manifested in the United States, sustain and strengthen freedom or does it circumscribe freedom so much that religion destroys freedom?
