Description: Domke and Coe study the rise of religion in American politics examining the public messages of political leaders over the past 75 years - from the 1932 election of FDR to the early stages of the 2008 presidential race. They conclude that US politics today is defined by a calculated, deliberate, and partisan use of faith.
