The Shift from Faith to Politics

This chapter explores the declining religious affiliation and church attendance in the U.S., noting how more Americans are identifying with political ideologies rather than traditional religious beliefs. It discusses the implications of this shift on both personal faith and broader political tensions, especially among white evangelicals during the Trump administration. Ultimately, the chapter calls for a reflection on Christian values in a democratic context, urging principles of courage, dignity, and forgiveness to promote civil discourse.
