The Godless Constitution: The Case Against Religious Correctness

The book examines the fierce debates during the Constitution's ratification in 1787-88, when critics attacked it as irreligious for omitting God and Christianity.

Authors Isaac Kramnick and R. Laurence Moore contend that the framers deliberately created a godless document to prioritize secular politics, individual happiness, and social peace over religious correctness.

They highlight how this secular stance prevailed despite opposition and warn against modern efforts to impose religious tests or rhetoric on public policy.
