A global study of church-state relations by Scotland's leading writer and broadcaster on religious affairs. He argues for disestablishment of the Church of England and the setting up of a National Religious Council to defend the Christian heritage of Britain. On an international level, church-state relations have never been so diverse, or so crucial in political terms. In Britain the Church of England criticizes government policy, in Brazil the Roman Catholic Church has become champion of the people, in the USA an atheist cannot become President and throughout Europe outmoded church-state models can result in new forms of oppression. Stewart Lamont has travelled the world to carry out research into these areas, and this book presents his findings and conclusions.
