The Holy Vote examines the way Americans worship, how
organized religion and politics intersect in America, and
how this powerful collision is transforming the current and
future American mind-set Not since the Civil War
has the United States been so polarized—politically and
ideologically. But at the very heart of this fracture is a
fascinating rig and paradoxical marriage between our
country’s politics and religions. Over the past
several election cycles, the differences between so-called
"Red America"—conservative, church-affiliated, suburban, and
rural—and "Blue America"—urban, secular, and socially
liberal—have hardened. Although on most days, these two big
American mainstreams move on parallel tracks, they
increasingly find themselves head to head, ready to fight at
the slightest offense. They react to new stories in
different ways. They react to government power in different
ways. They certainly vote in different ways. With
The Holy Vote, Ray Suarez explores the advent of this
polarization and how it is profoundly changing the way in
which we live our lives. With hands-on reporting, Suarez
explores the attitudes and beliefs of the people behind the
voting numbers, the places in which these new beliefs are
being born, and how the political divide is manifesting
itself across the country. The reader will come to a greater
understanding of how Americans believe, and how this belief
structure fuels the debates that dominate the issues on our
evening news.
