Recently Received: God's Law or Man's Law: The Fundamentalist Challenge to Secular Rule, by Laina Farhat-Holzman.

One of the principle challenges to civil, secular, democratic society can be found among fanatical followers of fundamentalist religions.

Some want to go as far as to create a new order founded upon strict adherence to their religious vision while others simply hope to change society enough to make it more religious.
