- Title
One Faith No Longer: The Transformation of Christianity in Red and Blue America. By George Yancey and Ashlee Qousigk.
- Authors
Guth, James L
- Abstract
To provide a national context, the authors use the 2012 American National Election Study (ANES) to demonstrate their basic contentions: that conservative Christians have an affinity for other Christians, but reject non-Christians; that progressives tend to accept non-Christian groups and political progressives, but reject both conservative Christians and political conservatives; and, perhaps surprisingly, that conservative Christians are I not i more supportive of political conservatives - at least after statistical controls for social and demographic factors. The authors conclude with a thoughtful, if somewhat curious, excursion into their titular question: whether progressives and conservatives are indeed adherents of different religions. In 1923 the fundamentalist theologian and polemicist J. Gresham Machen argued that orthodox and liberal variants of the Christian faith had become so different as to constitute distinct religions.
