Abstract
This paper provides historical and contemporary keys that can help clarify, from a Spanish perspective, the relationship between religion and politics in the United States, with two aims: one, to better understand U.S. policy (where decisions are explained, in part, taking into account American religious manifestations) and, second, to present a model of the relationship between the political and religious sphere in the U.S. and how it differs from what occurs in Spain.
