<br/><br/> "What makes religion so salient in time of war is that it acts the way revivals did for [Jonathan] Edwards--a spark leaps from pole to pole. Individuals merge in the joint peril and joint effort of facing an imminent menace....The odd euphoria of war resembles the jubilant confession of sinfulness at the Great Awakening. We are afraid and exhilarated. The multiple items of population are drawn together into a People, God's People." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) The author explains how religion has often been invoked by American presidents during times of war, despite efforts by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to separate church and state.
