Religiosity Shift to Political Belief

The decline in religiosity in the modern world has led individuals to project their desires for salvation onto politics, expecting politicians to bring the life they long for and fix the world. However, the decline in religiosity has not resulted in a more rational political landscape. As Christianity's influence weakens, ideological intensity and fragmentation in politics have increased. American faith remains fervent, but it has transitioned into political belief. Political debates over the meaning of America now resemble theological arguments, showcasing a shift from traditional religious beliefs to political convictions.
