Onward Christian Soldiers: The Growing Political Power of Catholics and Evangelicals in the United States

"What keeps America a country of religious practice and traditional values? How has the U.S. avoided succumbing to total secularism? The answer to these questions is found in the religious communities of America today: In the past thirty years, the religiously active voter has migrated to the Republican Party, and the story behind this shift, evidenced in the emergence of Evangelical dominance over mainstream Protestantism and the defeat of liberal Catholicism, is at the heart of this cultural history."--BOOK JACKET.
