Book Description:
A stunning piece of reporting that solves one of the biggest mysteries of the Trump era: how the alt-right made it possible for Trump and the Evangelicals to get married.
Why did so many Evangelicals vote for Donald Trump, a serial cheater whose conservative credentials aren’t clear and whose every word seems to go against Christian values? For a reporter like Sarah Posner, who has been writing about the religious right for decades, the answer is much more straightforward than one might think.
Posner digs deep into the radical history of the religious right in this tight and well-researched book to show how race and xenophobia have always been at the heart of the movement and how religion has been used to hide fears about perceived threats to a white Christian America. The religious right and the alt-right have a common goal: to roll back civil rights gains, fill the courts with hard-right judges, weaken and de-regulate federal agencies, and hurt the credibility of the free press. They are driven by an anti-democratic impulse and united by this reverse victimization story. This powerful group is increasingly forming ties with European far-right groups. This gives a boost to a truly global movement that is expected to last long after Trump leaves office.
Unholy: Why White Evangelicals Worship at the Altar of Donald Trump is both surprising and exciting. It helps readers learn more about the ideas and forces that drive Republican politics. Anyone who cares about the future of American democracy needs to read this book.
