Balmer reframes separation not as hostility to religion but as its greatest protector — the idea that allowed belief itself to flourish. With a historian’s clarity and a believer’s compassion, he argues that this boundary is America’s true sacred text. A love letter to pluralism, written in the language of freedom.
