"Even those well-versed in the religious right's attempt to Christianize American institutions will likely be shocked . . . Katherine Stewart's book about the fundamentalist assault on public education is lucid, alarming, and very important." -- Michelle Goldberg, author of KINGDOM COMING, on THE GOOD NEWS CLUB "Stewart is a gracious narrator, respectful of the religious and nonreligious participants she came across during her quite vast research. In sum, the book is an important work that reveals a movement little discussed in the mainstream media, one Stewart worries is poised to damage 'a society as open and pluralistic as ours.'" -- Minneapolis Star Tribune, on THE GOOD NEWS CLUB "Deep reporting and a keen sense of the larger picture." -- Kathryn Joyce, author of QUIVERFULL, on THE GOOD NEWS CLUB, "If anyone is wondering how the Religious Right and President Donald Trump ended up in their unholy alliance, Katherine Stewart has the answer. The Power Worshippers provides a fascinating x-ray into the political eco-system of religious conservatives who threaten the health of our democratic institutions. She argues that this movement is much more about power, money and invented pasts than ethics, theology and God. Stewart's book is an important contribution to our understanding of contemporary politics." -- Julian E. Zelizer, author of THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW "Katherine Stewart knows from years of investigative reporting why the Trumpvangelicals who use faith to whitewash corruption are a preeminent threat to American democracy. Read The Power Worshippers and you will understand why nothing is more important to the health of our common life than challenging the false moral narrative of religious nationalism." -- William J. Barber, II, President of Repairers of the Breach & Co-Chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival "A must-read for those interested in the influence of religion on politics and the effects on our political institutions." -- Library Journal, starred review "Stewart provides a comprehensive, chilling look at America's Christian nationalist movement, which she convincingly portrays as a highly organized political coalition that has 'already transformed the political landscape and shaken the foundations upon which lay our democratic norms and institutions.' . . . Her insightful investigation places the power of Christian nationalism into full context." -- Publishers Weekly ""[The] thoroughly researched facts as she lays them out are hard to argue with . . . [an] undeniably powerful examination of the Christian right's political motives."" -- Kirkus Reviews, "If anyone is wondering how the Religious Right and President Donald Trump ended up in their unholy alliance, Katherine Stewart has the answer. The Power Worshippers provides a fascinating x-ray into the political eco-system of religious conservatives who threaten the health of our democratic institutions.

Read The Power Worshippers to understand what the relentless political agitation against abortion and homosexuality has really achieved-and for whom." -- Nancy MacLean, author of DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS "A must-read for those interested in the influence of religion on politics and the effects on our political institutions." -- Library Journal, starred review "Employing a sharp investigative eye, Stewart connects the dots between radical theocratic groups that want to create an officially 'Christian nation' and extreme free-market libertarians who despise social programs for the poor, taxes and public institutions. After reading this book, you should be prepared to fight back like nothing less than our democracy is at stake - because it is." -- Rob Boston, Americans United for Separation of Church and State "[The] thoroughly researched facts as she lays them out are hard to argue with . . . [an] undeniably powerful examination of the Christian right's political motives." -- Kirkus Reviews "Katherine Stewart takes on the enormous task of revealing who exactly is pulling the levers of power in our communities, statehouses, and federal government. A must-read." -- Andrew Whitehead, author of TAKING AMERICA BACK FOR GOD "We are faced with a religious movement that is fundamentally opposed to pluralism and has long-term plans to transform America into a Christian nation. An adept, highly readable and important work." -- Julie Ingersoll, author of BUILDING GOD'S KINGDOM "Stewart provides a comprehensive, chilling look at America's Christian nationalist movement, which she convincingly portrays as a highly organized political coalition that has 'already transformed the political landscape and shaken the foundations upon which lay our democratic norms and institutions.' . . .

[an] undeniably powerful examination of the Christian right''s political motives." -- Kirkus Reviews "Bringing some clarity to the make-up of the Christian nationalist movement is just one of the myths Stewart busts in her upcoming book . . . Equally important for us to understand is that this movement isn''t simply about culture wars." -- Washington Monthly "A more comprehensive, if still compact, journey through the labyrinth of interlocking organizations and personalities that form the ecosystem of a movement that embraces ''identity-based authoritarian rule over pluralistic, democratic processes,'' and seeks to transform the U.S. to serve that vision . . . A journalist who has spent a decade covering the activities of the Christian Right painstakingly exposes the movement''s effort to undermine the United States'' pluralistic democracy." -- Shelf Awareness "If anyone is wondering how the Religious Right and President Donald Trump ended up in their unholy alliance, Katherine Stewart has the answer.

Synopsis
The inspiration for the documentary God & Country For readers of Democracy in Chains and Dark Money , a revelatory investigation of the Religious Right's rise to political power. For too long the Religious Right has masqueraded as a social movement preoccupied with a number of cultural issues, such as abortion and same-sex marriage. In her deeply reported investigation, Katherine Stewart reveals a disturbing truth: this is a political movement that seeks to gain power and to impose its vision on all of society. America's religious nationalists aren't just fighting a culture war, they are waging a political war on the norms and institutions of American democracy. Stewart pulls back the curtain on the inner workings and leading personalities of a movement that has turned religion into a tool for domination. She exposes a dense network of think tanks, advocacy groups, and pastoral organizations embedded in a rapidly expanding community of international alliances and united not by any central command but by a shared, anti-democratic vision and a common will to power. She follows the money that fuels this movement, tracing much of it to a cadre of super-wealthy, ultraconservative donors and family foundations. She shows that today's Christian nationalism is the fruit of a longstanding antidemocratic, reactionary strain of American thought that draws on some of the most troubling episodes in America's past. It forms common cause with a globe-spanning movement that seeks to destroy liberal democracy and replace it with nationalist, theocratic and autocratic forms of government around the world. Religious nationalism is far more organized and better funded than most people realize. It seeks to control all aspects of government and society. Its successes have been stunning, and its influence now extends to every aspect of American life, from the White House to state capitols, from our schools to our hospitals. The Power Worshippers is a brilliantly reported book of warning and a wake-up call. Stewart's probing examination demands that Christian nationalism be taken seriously as a significant threat to the American republic and our democratic freedoms., For readers of Democracy in Chains and Dark Money , a revelatory investigation of the Religious Right's rise to political power.
