J. Judd Owen sheds new light on the ambiguous status of religion in modern democratic society by tracing a surprisingly unified reinterpretation of Christianity by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Thomas Jefferson, and comparing that reinterpretation to Alexis de Tocqueville's analysis of the democratic transformation of religion in the early United States.
