Comments
Angry Religion: The Rise of American Theocracy series explores how religion is fueling a rise of acrimony among the US polity on issues of race, gender, public health, and sources of information by examining three contemporary developments: the specter of white Christian nationalism, anti-mask and anti-vaccine stances, and the links between conspiracy theories and religious belief.
