About this title

Synopsis

From the evangelical South to the 'unchurched' Pacific Northwest, regional religious differences have a dramatic impact on public life not only in the regions themselves but also in the United States as a whole. One Nation, Divisible shows how geographical religious diversity has shaped public culture in eight distinctive regions of the country and how regional differences influence the debate around critical national issues.The paperback edition features new material on regional religious differences in the 2008 election, the 2010 midterms, and during Barack Obama's presidency.
