Abstract

This essay is a response to critiques of Exporting Freedom, which traces the American exportation of religious freedom in various laws and treaties enacted over the course of the twentieth century. I show that the promotion of religious freedom went hand in hand with the rise of the United States as a global power. The critiques raised specific questions about the distinctiveness of the American project and its underlying Christian motivations as well as broader ones on methodological and theoretical issues. Among other things, I argue that, despite its questionable origins, the promotion of religious freedom need not be discarded.
