Uncover the Untold Story of Faith’s Role in Shaping America’s Political Landscape

From the Puritans to the Religious Right, Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power delves into the explosive intersection of religion and politics that has defined the United States for centuries. This meticulously researched work traces how Christian nationalism, evangelical activism, and moral crusades have driven policy, elections, and cultural battles—from the Scopes Trial to today’s debates over LGBTQ+ rights, abortion, and education.

Key Themes Explored:

• The Rise of the Moral Majority: How leaders like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson turned grassroots faith into political dominance.
• Faith-Driven Policy: The enduring impact of religious lobbies on healthcare, immigration, and environmental laws.
• Church vs. State: Historic clashes over prayer in schools, religious symbols in public spaces, and the Constitution’s “separation” doctrine.
• Global Influence: How American fundamentalism reshaped international politics and sparked backlash worldwide.
• Modern Challenges: The digital revolution, youth disaffection, and secular resistance reshaping faith’s role in power.

Why This Book Stands Out:

• Case Studies & Rare Insights: Dive into pivotal moments like the Civil Rights Movement’s faith-led activism and the Tea Party’s fusion of faith and fiscal conservatism.
