SUMMARY:February Non-Fiction Book: American Gospel
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Non-fiction Book Club\n\nHi everyone!\n\nAt a time when
  the nation is deeply divided on the question of religion and its place in 
 public life\, let's read Jon Meacham's book on the founding fathers and Ame
 rica's quest to prove that the idea of religious tolerance\, along with the
  separation of church and state\, is "perhaps the most brilliant American s
 uccess."\n\nI bet we'll have a lively discussion as Meacham\n\n* claims the
  religious right's attempt to reshape the Constitution and Declaration of I
 ndependence into advocating a state religion of Christianity is at odds wit
 h the spirit of religious freedom\n\nwhile he also\n\n* advocates the prese
 nce of a public religion\, as exemplified by the national motto\, "In God W
 e Trust\," and other religious statements that can be found on currency\, i
 n governmental papers and in politicians' speeches\n\n\nFor February\, our 
 book will be:   \n\nAmerican Gospel: God\, the Founding Fathers\, and the M
 aking of a Nation \nby Jon Meacham\n\nAmerican Gospel\n\nWe'll be meeting a
 t the Lincoln-Belmont branch of the Chicago Public Library in West Lakeview
 .  The library is down the street from the Paulina brown line stop and acce
 ssible from the Belmont\, Ashland\, and Lincoln buses.  The library has a p
 arking lot and street parking in the neighborhood is widely available.\n\n*
  Note that the library is just down the street from the Caribou Cafe where 
 we've had meetings in the past.\n\nChicago Public Library: Lincoln-Belmont
