Deals with the social theory of religion and culture. This study offers a meditation on the public discourse about the "Christian nation" in light of the social situation in the United States and ends with an invitation to rethink the role of religions in constructing a polycultural social democracy.
America is widely regarded as the ultimate "Christian Nation." Religious language has always been at the forefront of American politics but this has increased since the events of 9/11. ''Myth and the Christian Nation'' presents a startling analysis of how and why Christianity and national identity have been woven together in recent American political discourse. Drawing on examples of religious myth-making across the ancient world ''Myth and the Christian Nation'' brings the weight of history to bear on America today, a place where myth, monotheism, sovereignty and power can be harnessed together in the service of specific interests. The book invites readers to rethink the role of religion in the construction of social democracy and to see America afresh.
