"This book focuses on the problem of religious diversity, civil dialogue, and religion education in public schools, exploring the ways in which atheists, secularists, fundamentalists, and mainstream religionists come together in the public sphere, examining how civil discourse about religion fit swithin the ideals of the American political and pedagogical systems and how religious studies education can help to foster civility and toleration"--

In these 14 chapters, scholars of religion, education, and philosophy explore conceptual and historical issues of religious pluralism in the United States, critically engage with the ways in religion is taught in US public educational institutions, and explore models of civil discourse about religion and non-devotional teaching of religion.
