Book summary

This sober and reasonable presentation attempts to disarm those who view the Religious Right as a monolithic threat. Patrick Hynes says the right consists of people from various backgrounds who sometimes hold differing views of the balance of religion and politics in American life. They are, he says, the torch-bearers of the American tradition, and he sees them as centrist, not a fringe. Hynes is critical of both Republicans and Democrats: the first for making a play for votes and then not delivering; the second, for denying religion a place at the table. Nevertheless, he sees the Religious Right as the best hope for the Republican Party and the nation.
