Atheist Exceptionalism

This book is concerned with the manner by which religious terminology is defined via the discourse adopted by the United States Supreme Court, and the larger American judicial system. Focusing on the religious term of Atheism, it provides both the discourse itself, in the form of case decisions, as well as an analysis of that discourse. The work thus presents an essential introduction and discussion of both Atheism as a concept and the influence that judicial decisions have on the way we perceive the meaning of religious terminology in a national context.
