ISBN: 9780742534353.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Battle for the American Mind brings together religion, politics, economics, science, and literature to present a compelling history of the American people. In this brief and entertaining book, noted historian Carl J. Richard argues that there have been three worldviews that have dominated American thought―theism, humanism, and skepticism. Theists put their faith in God, humanists in man, and skeptics have faith in neither god nor man. Each worldview has had an epoch of domination, leading to the present \"Age of Confusion\" where theists, humanists, and skeptics battle one another for control of American hearts and minds.\n\nBy clearly explaining what Americans believed, exploring why they did so, and showing how that impacted the nations development, Carl J. Richard presents a unique portrait of the United States―past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254360956981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0742534359","price":83.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780742534353_a77c9e94-823f-4b28-81b6-4cea37043c15.jpg?v=1779955682","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-battle-for-the-american-mind-a-brief-history-of-a-nations-thought-9780742534353","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
