[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is very interesting--full of interesting ideas about the "civil religion" in the United States and its consequences for traditional religion, and various forms of social theory.

Unfortunately, the book is marred by a systematic unclarity of diction. It is written in the finest sociologese. Worth considering, but a slog, for that reason.
