Why do so many conservative Christians continue to support Donald Trump despite his many overt moral failings? Why do many Americans advocate so vehemently for xenophobic policies, such as a border wall with Mexico? Why do many Americans seem so unwilling to acknowledge the injustices that ethnic and racial minorities experience in the United States? Why do a sizeable proportion of Americans continue to oppose women's equality in the workplace and in the home?

To answer these questions, Taking America Back for God points to the phenomenon of "Christian nationalism," the belief that the United States is-and should be-a Christian nation. Christian ideals and symbols have long played an important role in American public life, but Christian nationalism is about far more than whether the phrase "under God" belongs in the pledge of allegiance. At its heart, Christian nationalism demands that we must preserve a particular kind of social order, an order in which everyone--Christians and non-Christians, native-born and immigrants, whites and minorities, men and women recognizes their "proper" place in society. The first comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States, Taking America Back for God illustrates the influence of Christian nationalism on today's most contentious social and political issues.

Drawing on multiple sources of national survey data as well as in-depth interviews, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry document how Christian nationalism shapes what Americans think about who they are as a people, what their future should look like, and how they should get there. Americans' stance toward Christian nationalism provides powerful insight into what they think about immigration, Islam, gun control, police shootings, atheists, gender roles, and many other political issues-very much including who they want in the White House. Taking America Back for God is a guide to one of the most important-and least understood-forces shaping American politics.

Review

Recipient of the 2021 Award of Merit in Politics and Public Life from Christianity Today

Winner of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion Distinguished Book Award

"The narrative and research in this book are impressive. Throughout the results chapters, the authors support quantitative findings with detailed quotes from qualitative interviews that brilliantly illustrate larger theoretical arguments.... This book should be essential reading for social scientists who work in the intersection of politics and religion." - Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion

"Whitehead and Perry present a powerful case that, in understanding contemporary American politics, what matters most is not whether individuals affirm a particular religious, party or even ethnic affiliation; what matters most is whether they support Christian nationalism." - Journal of Contemporary Religion

"Taking America Back for God is an urgent read.... A bold and incisive book for the present and the future." - Katie Gaddini, Patterns of Prejudice

"Through careful social science work, Perry and Whitehead identify the force called Christian Nationalism.... Many timely and important lessons are here for us." - Tim Keller, Life in the Gospel

"Taking America Back for God has been well received within the field of sociology of religion. It adds complexity and nuance to previous ways of discussing the relationship between religion and politics, and should be of interest to pollsters, pundits, and anyone interested in that intersection." - V. Jacquette Rhoades, Reading Religion

"Taking America Back for God is the most thorough, empirical treatment of Christian nationalism in the age of Trump.... Like the most important books, Taking America Back for God will shape the conversation regarding religion and politics." - Andrew R Lewis, University of Cincinnati, Sociology of Religion

"Taking America Back for God is full of helpful insights." - Journal of Church and State

"Whitehead and Perry map out the extraordinarily diverse and fractured views of Americans on the relationship between Christian nationalism and American government and politics. An essential tool for anyone who wishes to understand the current political moment." - Katherine Stewart, author of The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism

"Whitehead and Perry have looked beyond the court prophets who defend Donald Trump on Twitter and TV to understand the culture that made the Trump presidency possible. The distorted moral narrative of Christian nationalism has indelibly shaped public imagination in American life for decades. Taking America Back for God demonstrates both the power of that narrative and the importance of reviving a moral movement to revive the heart of democracy." - Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, author of Revolution of Values: Reclaiming Public Faith for the Common Good

"There has been much talk of Christian nationalism since the 2016 elections. Whitehead and Perry have given us the first systematic analysis. They present lots of data and also offer plenty of surprises. Essential reading for anyone trying to figure out the role of religion in the politics of the Trump era." - Philip Gorski, Professor of Sociology, Yale University

"Why do so many evangelicals support Donald Trump? One cannot answer that question without an understanding of Christian nationalism. Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry have written a well-researched and very important book. It should be read by anyone trying to make sense of the relationship between religion and politics today." - John Fea, author of Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump

"An illuminating and important account of the pervasive spread of Christian Nationalism in recent decades and of its dangerous and powerful impact on both the church and the larger culture." - Englewood Review of Books

"Whitehead and Perry provide one of the best perspectives possible on the 2020 race, and the larger forces that will continue to polarize America ... This is both an extremely timely book and one that's likely to shape our self-understanding as a nation for generations to come." - Christianity Today

"Whitehead and Perry provide one of the best perspectives possible on the 2020 race, and the larger forces that will continue to polarize America ... This is both an extremely timely book and one that's likely to shape our self-understanding as a nation for generations to come." - Salon

This book provides an excellent summary of the rise of a current social trend (not an organization) identified as Christian Nationalism. The authors make there case well and would be helpful for folk who would like to know if they accidentally had slipped into this trend. As a retired pastor, I found it to be an illuminating and cautionary tale.

Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States by Andrew L. Whitehead and Samuel L. Perry

“Taking America Back for God” is an empirical treatment of Christian nationalism. Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry take a social scientific approach on Christian nationalism and describe its underlying causes and social consequences. This insightful 286-page book includes the following four chapters: 1. Four Americans, 2. Power, 3. Boundaries, and 4. Order.

Positives:
1. Makes great use of graphs and charts to drive the social-scientific narrative.
2. An important topic, what the data says about Christian nationalists.
3. The purpose of the book clearly defined. “Our goal in this book is to thoroughly explore one factor that, as we will show, plays a large, unique, but often unrecognized (and at times, misrecognized) role in our nation’s current cultural and political conflicts. That factor is Christian nationalism.”
4. Defines what Christian nationalism is. “Simply put, Christian nationalism is a cultural framework—a collection of myths, traditions, symbols, narratives, and value systems—that idealizes and advocates a fusion of Christianity with American civic life.”
5. Explains why it is important to understand Christian nationalism. “Christian nationalism is often a stronger predictor of Americans’ attitudes about race, gender, immigration, gun rights, Islam, and family/sexuality issues than political ideology.”
6. Does a great job of debunking the notion that Christian nationalism is equivalent to Christianity. “As it turns out, being an evangelical does not lead one to enthusiastically support border walls with Mexico; favoring Christian nationalism does. Being an evangelical does not seem to sour Americans’ attitudes toward stronger gun control legislation; endorsing Christian nationalism does. Being an evangelical was not an important predictor of which Americans voted for Donald Trump in 2016; supporting Christian nationalism was. Readers should keep this in mind throughout.” “To condemn Christian nationalism as we define it is not to condemn Christianity or religion per se.”
7. Describes the variations in Americans’ orientations toward Christian nationalism. “While Americans hold diverse views on this question, we can sort them into four broad categories: Ambassadors, Accommodators, Resisters, or Rejecters, based on our 24-point Christian nationalism scale.”
8. Describes the characteristics that define each category on which generalizations can be made. “So, while at the highest level of education, Americans’ support for Christian nationalism is quite low, more education does not seem to preclude someone from supporting Christian nationalism.”
9. One of the great strengths of this book is that it looks at specific issues and it shows what groups are more likely to support them, why and trends. “A significant and consistent trend in American religion is the growth of the religiously “unaffiliated” or religious “nones” (those who check “none” for religious affiliation on surveys). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, this group ranged in size from five to almost eight percent of the population. However, in the mid-1990s this group began to grow quickly, reaching 14 percent by 2000 and 22 percent by 2017.”
10. Examines how Christian nationalism influences political attitudes and activity in ways that are beyond political conservatism and often diametrically opposed to Christian ethics. “But is religion’s influence on the 2016 election as straightforward as “white evangelicals put Trump in the White House?” We think a better explanation of what happened in 2016 can be found in the cultural framework many Americans—evangelical or not—happen to share: Christian nationalism.”
11. The factors that helped Trump win in 2016. “First, the two strongest factors in predicting who voted for Trump were self-identifying as a Republican and as a political conservative. The next two strongest predictors of voting Trump, however, were Islamophobia and Christian nationalism.”
12. Examines why conservative Christians supported Trump. “For Christian nationalists, the ends justify the means.” “The high levels of support Trump enjoys among white Christians are due to the higher than average levels of Christian nationalism among white Christians.”
13. Examines the politics of Trump. “Simply put, Americans who adhere more strongly to Christian nationalism are generally more comfortable with restricting the political freedoms and civil liberties of Muslims, whom they deem as a threat to social order.”
14. Examines what Christian nationalism is all about. “Appeals to Christian nationalism, by contrast, involve either a proprietary claim or a call to arms, always in response to a perceived threat. In short, Christian nationalism is all about power.”
15. Examines the appeal of boundaries to Christian nationalists. “Stated in reverse, those who see being “Christian” as central to being “American” are highly resistant to the idea that immigrants—even Christians who have been here for years—those who cannot speak English, and those without an American ancestor can be “truly American.” They are indelibly “them,” not “us.””
16. Examines criminal injustice. “In other words, Americans who embrace Christian nationalism are more likely to disregard racial inequality in policing and place the blame for police violence squarely on the victims.”
17. Examines societal order. “A cursory list highlights how the concept of the family animates these groups: the American Family Association (est. 1977), Focus on the Family (est. 1977), the Family Research Council (est. 1983), and Family Watch International (est. 1999) to name just a few. There are many others. The vision and mission statements of each group underscore the centrality of the nuclear (heterosexual, patriarchal) family in maintaining an orderly and healthy society.”
18. Examines gender roles. “The FFRF argued that the Trump administration and several conservative Christian organizations—like Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council—“are legislating false, biblical ideas about gender essentialism and applying it to public policy. In a secular nation, laws must not be molded by church doctrine.””
19. Examines societal consequences of sin. “Christian nationalism, however, is political at its core. Threats to the “traditional” (patriarchal, heterosexual, nuclear) family are not just the symptoms of sin in a fallen world. They are threats to the very fabric of American society.”
20. Provides appendices that describe the data and methods used for this book.
21. Bibliography and links included.

Negatives:
1. This is a graphic heavy book that does not lend itself quite well on a regular Kindle versus a hardcover book.
2. If you don’t like to analyze graphs this book is not for you. This book is based on a methodology of charts and surveys.
3. It feels more like a complementary piece to a book than a standalone book.
4. Examines vote analyses but fails to mention the impact of gerrymandering and voter suppression laws that had and adverse impact in states like Wisconsin.

In summary, this is a book that will appeal to social scientists and people who enjoy analyzing charts and graphs to make conclusions. Having a background in engineering and science, these kinds of books appeal to me but it may not be to the mass appeal. That said, the authors examine and help clarify what Christian nationalism is and how that framework orients American perspectives on issues. I recommend it with the understanding that this book is an empirical examination (graphs based on surveys).

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, Thought-Provoking, and Packed with Data
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021

Taking God back for America is an exploration of the concept of "Christian Nationalism" and how that drives a belief system, behaviors, and politics. It is a data-driven discussion written by sociologists Andrew L Whitehead and Samuel L Perry.

It uses real-world data to form a model that helps explain some behaviors that seem contradictory / hypocritical when viewed only superficially and broadly. A touchstone of this exploration is the support of Trump by many Christians, but the book more broadly considers a host of beliefs that better illustrate and differentiate Christian Nationalism from Christianity and even Evangelical Christianity (contrary to popular assumptions).

They frontload the book with the core data, which can be a bit much to take in, but then they focus on a given category of beliefs in the remaining chapters, weaving in interview commentaries from folks all along the spectrum of alignment with Christian Nationalism.

I think the book has lessons for all of us. They may be difficult or awkward lessons, but most people will find something enlightening in this book about themselves or the perspectives of others, likely both. I feel it is a must-read for anyone living in the USA that wants to better understand their fellow humans, deepen their empathy, and forge a better tomorrow.

I had never encountered the term "Christian Nationalism" or dominionism until December 2019. Once I heard the concept, I began learning more and discovered this excellent book. It is a superb touchstone to understanding what CN is and how it thinks. I've been trying to learn more about Trump's loyal base and how his supporters view the world. This book is essential in the way it presents accurate information to the size of the movement and the reasons behind the groups' attitudes. The most significant findings to me was how wrong I've been in describing Trump's base as all Evangelical Christians. Whitehead and Perry offer a convincing argument the more a Christian follows the teachings of Christ, the LESS likely they are to support Trump's policies. The most important finding is CN is a political movement, not a religious movement, very cleverly using our attitudes about religion and laws about free speech to protect itself from a more public scrutiny. The movement is real and it is very powerful, more so than many realize. The case history in chapter one does a perfect job of explaining the implications of CN. The remainder of the book helps connect the dots to what appears to be somewhat random acts.

This is quite a good book about white christian nationalism. The book does a statistical analysis of WCN attitudes and beliefs by dividing interviewees into for groups on a sliding scale according to their beliefs and attitudes towards WCN. The authors make er much of the case that WCN is not the same as evangelicals or even conservative christians. The delve into how many, are they progressing or declining in numbers and so forth. This book is a very good read for anyone interested in knowing about this extremely powerful and influential, and to me, a very dangerous group. Highly recomended

Brilliant. A brilliant balance of quantitative and qualititave research to analyse the mysterious relationship between Christianity and Trump. I highly recommend pairing this book with Kristin Kobes Du Mez's 2020 book 'Jesus and John Wayne' to provide the historical timeline needed to provide a fuller picture of Christian Nationalism.

Additionally, as a reader who often struggles to engage with data, I found Taking America Back for God to be well pitched and accessible to the statistical layman.
