A fantastic book on the topic of separation of church and state. The book basis the majority of it's examination of the issues on concepts originally put forth by John Locke and John Stuart Mill, as well as existing case law in several countries. The issues covered include:

A Short History of Religious Intolerance
Hobbes, Locke, and their Legacy: Models of the Modern State
Religious Impositions and Endorsements
Religion-Based Morality and the Secular State
Persecution, Accommodation, and Conscientious Objection
Private Power, Religious Communities, and the State
Religious Freedom and the Interests of Children
Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech

I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in this subject matter or who is concerned about the theocratic leanings of some modern political establishments. ( )
