“Religious conflicts in mulC-‐faith American are
mild compared with those in countries that
have only one faith or virtually no faith at all.”

Unit 1: America’s design for tolerance [4/16]
In 1790 Founding Father George Washington
wrote to the Jewish community that the
United States would tolerate no bigotry toward
“the children of the stock of Abraham.” His
open-‐mindedness has been quesConed by
many, though Clausen believes that his
aVtudes were genuinely reflected of
“enlightened American opinion” pertaining to
religious freedom.

Unit 1: America’s design for tolerance [5/16]
Though Americans fought over many issues in
the colonial issue, religious freedom was rarely
among them. The episodes of anC-‐Catholicism
and anC-‐SemiCsm were miniscule compared to
those in Europe or the Middle East today. The
most notable legal issue was the federal
government’s decision in the late nineteenth
century to force Mormons to abandon
polygamy.

Unit 1: America’s design for tolerance [6/16]
Today Washington’s tolerant aVtude seems
more naïve that it did in the past. He and other
enlightened Americans underesCmated the
extent to which “full-‐strength religion” with its
dogma and fundamentalism can generate
disagreement in a pluralisCc society.
Contemporary issues include the celebraCon of
Christmas in public venues, the reference to
God in the pledge of allegiance, the display of
the Ten Commandments in courthouses, and
the teaching of evoluCon.

“The Le] fears that fundamentalists have
subverted the ConsCtuCon to establish a
theocracy while the Right complains of
galloping secularism… War between faiths, as
well as between faith and government, is
raging again throughout most of the world,
and America is part of the picture.”
