Exposes the invisible ways in which Christian privilege disadvantages religious minorities in America. The United States is recognized as the most religiously diverse country in the world, and yet its laws and customs, which many have come to see as normal features of American life, actually keep the Constitutional ideal of "religious freedom for all" from becoming a reality. Christian beliefs, norms, and practices infuse our society; they are embedded in our institutions, creating the structures and expectations that define the idea of "Americanness." Religious minorities still struggle for recognition and for the opportunity to be treated as fully and equally legitimate members of American society. From the court room to the classroom, their scriptures and practices are viewed with suspicion, and bias embedded in centuries of Supreme Court rulings create structural disadvantages that endure today. In White Christian Privilege, Khyati Y. Joshi traces Christianity's influence on the American experiment from before the founding of the Republic to the social movements of today. Mapping the way through centuries of slavery, westward expansion, immigration, and citizenship laws, she also reveals the ways Christian privilege in the United States has always been entangled with notions of White supremacy. Through the voices of Christians and religious minorities, Joshi explores how Christian privilege and White racial norms affect the lives of all Americans, often in subtle ways that society overlooks. By shining a light on the inequalities these privileges create, Joshi points the way forward, urging readers to help remake America as a diverse democracy with a commitment to true religious freedom.

En janvier 1589, alors que la France subit sa huitième guerre de Religion entre catholiques et protestants, Jacques de La Guesle, procureur général au parlement de Paris, dénonce les effets désastreux de la division religieuse aux représentants des trois états réunis au château de Blois. Elle n'a apporté que désordres, confusions, démolitions d'églises. Pour le haut magistrat, la dissension religieuse est un glaive à deux tranchants qui pénètre jusque dans la moelle des os.Les années de la fin du règne de Henri II voient s'accélérer la rupture reli- gieuse entre catholiques et protestants. En témoignent les arrêts criminels rendus par le parlement de Paris, cour souveraine qui rend la justice au nom du roi. Ils sont un observatoire privilégié, sorte de caisse de résonance de leur époque. Ils offrent la possibilité de suivre presque au jour le jour les violences et les affrontements toujours plus intenses entre catholiques et réformés.L'enquête débute en 1555, pour s'achever sur la paix d'Amboise en mars 1563, soit les huit années qui précèdent la première guerre de Religion et qui l'englobent aussi. Se distinguent trois phases différentes : une politique de répression menée par Henri II jusqu'à sa mort accidentelle en 1559, la recherche de conciliation menée en 1560 et 1561, puis l'éclatement de la guerre en mars 1562 et ses effets.L'activité criminelle de la plus haute cour de justice du royaume montre qu'en matière de religion la politique royale est souvent hésitante, parfois volontariste, et qu'elle finit par se heurter à l'opposition des sujets, laquelle entraîne l'inapplication des lois et le développement de la violence. Quant à la justice du roi, son légalisme pétri de modération tente de conjurer une réalité qui ne veut pas s'encombrer de scrupules juridiques.Cette étude révèle à quel point la Réforme protestante a ébranlé la France ainsi que la monarchie. Elle aide à nous convaincre de l'importance du danger que constitue la résurgence de la violence au nom de la religion.
