ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: I am grateful to my friend and frequent co-author Roger Hendrix, who contributed substantially to the development of the ideas presented in this address, and to SVU President Rodney K. Smith, who ex￾tended the invitation to address the student body. Stirling Adams, Andi Pitcher Davis, Marc Davis, James Faulconer, Nicea Gedicks, RonNell Anderson Jones, and James Rasband gave me useful com￾ments and criticisms on earlier drafts. I also benefited from a discus￾sion of an early draft with fellows and faculty of the International Center for Law and Religion Studies at BYU Law School. Finally, BYU Law School Research Librarians Galen Fletcher and Gary Hill provided invaluable help in locating statistical and other sources. Re￾sponsibility for the content, of course, is mine alone.
