Examining the impact of George W. Bush's presidency on American civil religion, Emilio Gentile argues that post-9/11, Bush shifted the narrative to create a partisan divide using religion. He leveraged his evangelical base to promote an exclusivist political religion, portraying Democrats as adversaries of religious values. This book delves into the historical context of this transformation and analyzes the Bush administration's efforts to redefine American identity through a religious lens, ultimately questioning the permanence of this shift.
