For too long, the religious right has masqueraded as a social movement preoccupied with a number of cultural issues such as abortion and anti-LGBT equality. Katherine Stewart reveals a disturbing truth: this is a political movement that seeks to gain power and impose its vision on all of society. America’s religious nationalists aren’t just fighting a culture war, they are waging a political war on the norms and institutions of American democracy. By pulling back the curtain on the movement's inner workings and leading personalities, exposing a dense network of think tanks, advocacy groups, data operations, and others, Stewart explains how the machinery of the movement works – and suggests ways to fight back.
