Just listened to another interesting Fresh Air segment with Steven Waldman, author of
Founding Faith:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88096495
Waldman examines the beliefs and politics of America from the colonies up though the Revolution and beyond, debunking many of the ideas we hear thrown around today.
He specifically says that America was not founded as a "Christian Nation", and explores the early history of severe persecution and discrimination common throughout the colonies.
Sounds like it might be an interesting read.
