Many people take it for granted: Evangelicals are Republican, Democrats arent religious, and moderate Christians simply dont exist. But it wasnt always this way. Those who grew up evangelical in the 1980s were just as likely to sit next to a Democrat as a Republican at church. n nWhat happened in the decades that followed? n nData scientist Ryan Burge demystifies the polarization of American pews, helping us understand why the religious landscape has changed so dramatically in the last fifty years--and how this divide impacts every aspect of society. Burge argues that many churches embraced conservative politics amid the culture wars, leading moderate and liberal Christians to leave the church in droves. n nYet Burge shows that returning to church may be exactly what America needs. Many Americans still want to practice faith and believe deeply in the principles of religion. Burge reminds us that the average American is a lot more moderate than they are given credit for, and that at their best, churches can unify people from different economic backgrounds and political affiliations. n nBlending personal stories with rigorous, up-to-date research, Burge urges us to rebuild faith communities that can reach across the aisle, helping to restore democracy and unite rather than divide us.
