- catalog abstract "The rise of the Religious Right is one of the most important political and cultural stories of our time. To many, the controversial movement threatens to upset the nation's delicate balance of religious and secular interests. To others, the Religious Right is valiantly struggling to preserve religious liberty and to prove itself the last, best hope to save America's soul. In With God on Our Side - the first balanced account of the impact of conservative Christians on post-war politics - William Martin paints a vivid and authoritative portrait of America's most powerful political interest group. Race relations, abortion and reproductive rights, homosexuality, the content of the mass media, school curricula, and the nature and role of the family - conservative Christians have engaged all of these socially charged issues, and their activism has irrevocably altered the way America confronts its thorniest problems. How does a free society draw the line between church and state without removing religious conviction from public life? What motivates individual Americans to do battle in the culture wars? Most important, when politicians and religiously motivated activists join forces, who holds the reins? Drawing on over 100 new interviews with key figures in the movement, William Martin brilliantly captures the spirit of the age as he explores both sides of this dramatic debate. Written in conjunction with the public television series of the same name, this landmark book is essential reading for all Americans - conservative and liberal, fundamentalist and atheist - who care about the spiritual health and political future of our country.".
