Considering who he is holding his position under, I'll
stand by "The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents From
Wa****ngton to F.D.R" by Franklin Steiner published by
The Freethought Library through Prometheus Books,
ISBN 0-87975-975-5 This isn't a recent book, but it is
thoroughly researched.
The general view of those who have reviewed Hutson's
book is that, though Hutson is religious, he is not biased.
I'll probably buy his book to make comparisons.
