In this provocative book Warren A. Nord argues that public schools and        universities leave the vast majority of students religiously illiterate. Such        education is not religiously neutral, a matter of constitutional importance; indeed,        it borders on secular indoctrination when measured against the requirements of a        good liberal education and the demands of critical thinking. Nord also argues that        religious perspectives must be included in courses that address morality and those        Big Questions that a good education cannot ignore. He outlines a variety of civic        reasons for studying religion, and argues that the Establishment Clause doesn't just        permit, but requires, taking religion seriously. While acknowledging the difficulty        of taking religion seriously in schools and universities, Nord makes a cogent case        for requiring both high school and undergraduate students to take a year long course        in religious studies, and for discussing religion in any course that deals with        religiously controversial material. The final chapters address how religion might        best be addressed in history, literature, economics, and (perhaps most        controversially) science courses. He also discusses Bible courses, and the relevance        of religion to moral education and ethics courses.While his position will be taken        by some as radical, he argues that he is advocating a "e;middle way"e; in our culture        wars. Public schools and universities can neither promote religion nor ignore it.          Does God Make a Difference? increases our understanding of a long and heated        cultural conflict; it also proposes a solution to the problem that is        philosophically sound and, in the long run, eminently practical.
