The conversion is complete

Andrew Sullivan argues that the “Christianist” conversion of the GOP is now complete in the form of:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry: who “launched his campaign in a revival meeting calling for God to solve our economic problems (having previously led mass prayers for the end of the Texas drought)” and

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann: who “emerges entirely out of Dominionist theology and built her entire career in the Christianist world of home-schooling, and anti-gay demonization.”

What say ye, readers? Is the GOP (as Sullivan argues) now nothing more than “a religious movement clothed in anti-government radicalism”?

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.

As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
