  • 'Fundamentalism and American Culture', third edition updated

    FnasJSHaAAAQomx.jpg

    'Fundamentalism and American Culture' (Marsden) has long been considered a classic in religious history, and to this day remains unsurpassed. Now available in a new edition, this highly regarded analysis takes us through the full history of the origin and direction of one of America's most influential religious movements.

    In the twenty-first century, militantly conservative white evangelicals have become more prominent than ever in American life. Marsden's volume, which now takes the history through the end of the Trump administration, remains the essential starting point for understanding the degree to which that militancy has been shaped by the fundamentalist heritage of the twentieth century.

  • White Catholics for Trump (2020)

    According to the 2020 French media, it seems that donald trump,joe biden,2020 us presidential electionsTrump's religious support only comes from White Evangelicals. That's wrong.

    While it is not deniable that US white Evangelicals remain Trump's strongest religious ally (with an approval rate around 75%), let's not forget that a strong majority of US White Catholics do support Donald Trump too.

    According to the last research released by the Pew Forum on the 15 of sept, 2020, 59% of US White Catholics plan to vote for Trump at the 2020 US presidential elections.

    This strong White Catholic support for Trump would probably be even stronger if Joe Biden, Trump's Democrat opponent, was not himself a Catholic.

    This reminds us that the battle Biden / Trump is certainly not a Catholic / Protestant battle.

    The drawing line has to be placed elsewhere (the "value voter" parameter, and the Christian nationalism parameter).
