    The connection between religion and everyday life in the early United States has, at times, been a contentious field of study. Questions about how various churches and faiths developed in conjunction with the revolution, governmental authority, and enlightenment ideology have been examined from multiple angles. Of particular interest has been the spread of evangelical denominations during the first great awakening, during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth Centuries. This essay will examine two books that present very different viewpoints on the nature of that history, Nathan Hatch’s book, The Democratization of American Christianity (Yale University, 1989), and Conceived In Doubt: Religion and Politics in the New American Nation (University of Chicago…

    Rhetorical Analysis of Liberals Think that Only Liberals Can Boycott and Protest Ryan T. Anderson, a member of The Heritage Foundation, wrote an article regarding the hypocrisy of liberals and how religious freedom is under attack. The article, “Liberals Think that Only Liberals Can Boycott and Protest” begins with stereotypes and ad hominem by generalizing and attacking a group of people. He suggests that all liberals do not have standards. He uses a false analogy and emotional fallacies to support his claims. Anderson’s article has little evidence to support its claims and attempts to use an ethos appeal by arguing the United States’ religious freedoms are under attack by liberals and companies.…

    Laura Schlessinger, a popular American talk radio host, once said “When you’re the victim of the behavior, it’s black and white; when you're the perpetrator, there are a million shades.” Her words ring no more true than when examining a recent standoff between Gordon College and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) concerning the role of religious freedom and the acceptability of harassment targeted at sexual orientation minorities. Gordon College seeks to maintain a religious policy which bars sexually intercourse outside of marriage, and consequently dating among LGBT students. The NEASC, who provides Gordon College it’s accreditation, has demanded the college reverse its policy and move towards more tolerant practices or risk losing accreditation as a higher education institution. Historically, society has continually strived towards equality and, in doing so, our understanding…

    In the “Historical Context” video, Dr. Rena Lindevaldsen attempts to explain the role of religion in America. When you consider the middle group who acknowledges that America’s foundation was based on biblical principles originally, but because it is so religiously and culturally diverse today, America should no longer adhere to those basic religious princiles and decisions that are made in the government, one is forced to answer key foundational biblical questions. First of all, were we founded on biblical principles, then if we are what should be we do today since we ae religiously and culturally diverse.

    The theme of conservatism versus progressivism is a classic in the discourse of the role of religion in society. Although most liberal societies insist that the church and the state are separated, the fact that religion does play a crucial role in political socialization is undeniable. Since religious characteristics can be channeled into political action, religion is considered as a component of politicization (Wald, 29). Nevertheless, “Doubt” reassembles the dichotomous theme of conservatism versus progressivism, which is not under the context of the church versus the state but within the church itself. Thus, the clash between Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn is not only a religious and moral confrontation, but also a political one.…

    In a nation that pledges allegiance to itself under god, religion is bound to become a factor in the politics that govern it. Religion did not start to be integrated into public affairs until the mid 1980s. It was at this time that abortion and other personal issues began to emerge into the political spectrum. By incorporating aspects of the moral being into government decisions, coalitions were formed to unite for certain issues. Due to the increased combination of religion and partisanship, the ideologies of religious politics and political religion became more prominent, as can be seen in the case of abortion described in American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us.…

    Socially conservative views often characterize the religious right, “a coalition of conservative Protestant Christians” who often “use the language of faith and quasi-religious organizations to affect the political process” The religious right had a profound effect on politics of the 1980s. Thousands were mobilized to vote and their effect was so strong that in a sense the religious right became its own voting bloc. Jimmy Carter was one of the first presidents to feel the influence of the religious right; however, the religious right had a very distinct and lasting effect as a result of Ronald Reagan’s presidency while Bill Clinton often suffered incessant backlash during his presidency.…

    Discretionary legislative accommodations and diverse religious beliefs are widely permitted in the United States except for a narrow range of cases disallowed by the Establishment Clause. This is because the Establishment Clause is synonym for religious freedom for individuals as well as organizations they may procure, thus, the clause 's predisposition rightly leans toward what is permitted. The First Amendment and legal precedent also provide a clear interpretation of permissible speech, yet, controversial court decisions in the past decade have placed religious issues into the spotlight. An analysis of modem Establishment Clause jurisprudence shows the Supreme Court (“Court”) has relied upon separation of church and state as its core basis…

    Being immersed in a Christian environment for the last couple of years at Bryan College it has been difficult to see a different perspective on living a life for Christ that does not demonize socialism and endorse capitalism, until reading Christianity and the Social Crisis. Walter Rauschenbusch, the author, paints a picture of what it is to be politically liberal, yet religiously conservative on a scale that he calls the church to action by utilizing the influence it now has over the common people particularly pertaining to social justice matters. According to www.ChristianityToday.com, Walter Rauschenbusch was a theologian as well as a Baptist pastor who also taught at Rochester Theological Seminary. Rauschenbusch’s church was located in an area in New York called “Hell’s Kitchen”, where he encountered and lived life with many people who were victims of…
