Religion in America Today

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Stivers and van der Laan show how deeply political our religions are and how deeply religious our politics are. However, we cannot confuse the United States’ religious fervor for Christianity in practice. Despite this unholy alliance of religion and politics in pursuit of power that leads to violence, our life in a technological system is not hopeless. . . . This important book helps make sense both of our current moment and the future we are collectively walking towards.”
