The concept became embedded in Court's jurisprudence and remains so today. Yet separation of church and state is not just a legal\u003cbr\u003econstruct; it is embedded in the culture. Church-state separation was a popular cultural ideal, chiefly for Protestants and secularists, long before the Supreme Court adopted it as a constitutional principle. While the Court's church-state decisions have impacted public attitudes--particularly those\u003cbr\u003econtroversial holdings regarding prayer and Bible reading in public schools--the idea of church-state separation has remained relatively popular; recent studies indicate that approximately two-thirds of Americans support the concept, even though they disagree over how to apply it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the follow up to his 2010 book \u003cem\u003eThe Second Disestablishment\u003c\/em\u003e, Steven K. Green sets out to do examine the development of modern separationism from a legal and cultural perspective. \u003cem\u003eThe Third Disestablishment \u003c\/em\u003eexamines the dominant religious-cultural conflicts of the 1930s-1950s between Protestants\u003cbr\u003eand Catholics, but it also shows how other trends and controversies during mid-century impacted both judicial and popular attitudes toward church-state separation: the Jehovah's Witnesses' cases of the late-30s and early-40's, Cold War anti-communism, the religious revival and the rise of civil\u003cbr\u003ereligion, the advent of ecumenism, and the presidential campaign of 1960. The book then examines how events of the 1960s-the school prayer decisions, the reforms of Vatican II, and the enactment of comprehensive federal education legislation providing assistance to religious schools-produced a\u003cbr\u003erupture in the Protestant consensus over church-state separation, causing both evangelicals and religious progressives to rethink their commitment to that principle. Green concludes by examining a series of church-state cases in the late-60s and early-70s where the justices applied notions of\u003cbr\u003echurch-state separation at the same time they were reevaluating that concept.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven K.
