The Culture of Disbelief: How American Law and Politics Trivialize Religious Devotion ({{ISBN|0-385-47498-9}}) is a 1994 book by Stephen L. Carter. In it, he holds that religion in the United States is trivialized by American law and politics, and that those with a strong religious faith are forced to bend to meet the viewpoint of a "public faith" which is largely faithless. Carter argues that there is a place for faith in public life, while still adhering to the separation of church and state.{{cite news |title=The Culture of Disbelief: How American Law and Politics Trivialize Religious Devotion |url=https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-465-02647-0 |accessdate=May 12, 2020 |work=Publishers Weekly |date=August 30, 1993}}
