"Blurring the line between church and state threatens civil liberties and privacy, says former President Jimmy Carter. That's the case he makes in his new book, Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis, which draws on Carter's experiences as a president and a Christian.
Carter was the 39th president of the United States.

In 2002, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end violence and spread human rights." (snip
