Why do many argue so vigorously for preserving Confederate monuments and against the teaching of \"Critical Race Theory\"? Why do many Americans seem so unwilling to acknowledge the injustices that ethnic and racial minorities experience in the United States? Why do a sizeable proportion of Americans continue to oppose women's equality in the workplace and in the home? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo answer these questions, \u003cem\u003eTaking America Back for God\u003c\/em\u003e points to the phenomenon of \"Christian nationalism,\" the belief that the United States is-and should be-a Christian nation. Christian ideals and symbols have long played an important role in American public life, but Christian nationalism is about far more than whether the phrase \"under God\" belongs in the pledge of allegiance. At its heart, Christian nationalism demands that we must preserve a particular kind of social order, an order in which everyone--Christians and non-Christians, natural-born and immigrants, whites and minorities, men and women recognizes their \"proper\" place in society. In this award-winning book, the first comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States, \u003cem\u003eTaking America Back for God\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates the influence of Christian nationalism on today's most contentious social and political issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on multiple sources of national survey data as well as in-depth interviews, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry document how Christian nationalism shapes what Americans think about who they are as a people, what their future should look like, and how they should get there. Americans' stance toward Christian nationalism provides powerful insight into what they think about immigration, Islam, gun control, police shootings, atheists, gender roles, and many other political issues-very much including who they want in the White House. \u003cem\u003eTaking America Back for God \u003c\/em\u003eis a guide to one of the most important-and least understood-forces shaping American politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew L.
