Can Civil Religion Make a Comeback?

"Our form of government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith, and I don't care what it is," President Dwight Eisenhower told an audience at the Waldorf-Astoria on Dec. 22, 1952. The next month, he began his inaugural address with a prayer. When he died, he was buried in a chapel called "Place of Meditation" which features a large cross and stained glass windows but is about as nondenominational as a chapel can be.
