As I noted in my last comment, if you haven't already checked out my blogs as a resource, please do so because I blog about America's civil religion and its tension with traditional biblical Christianity on a daily basis. Below is a post of mine that the Cato Institute reproduced in their symposium on American Political Theology. Even though I am not a Christian, many if not most of the intellectuals who have influenced my research are traditional orthodox Christians who well understand (indeed better than the secularists!) the flaws inherent in the "Christian America" idea. http://www.cato-unbound.org/2007/10/15/the-editors/best-of-the-blogs-jonathan-rowe-on-american-political-theology/ Great stuff.

It's where they crown kings. The tour guide introduced the place as the heart of England's Civic Religion. It struck me as a weird term, but it was cool to see monuments to shakespeare and donne (among others). when my brother and I went to london, we visited westminister abbey.
