So Help Me God by Forrest Church is subtitled The Founding Fathers and The First Great Battle Over Church and State. In this revealing look into history, the author re-creates our first great culture war - a conflict that raged from George Washington's presidency to James Monroe's. Religion was a divisive issue in early elections. The Bible and The Declaration of Independence seemed to be competing for American affections. The religious political wars reached a peak during the War of 1812. But the conflict helped to shape church/state relations when the American victory drove New England's Christian right to withdraw from electoral politics. From there, the church and state both flourished.
