An analysis of why and how the Religious Right could vote for Donald Trump in 2016, and how the movement can redeem itself and get back on track. In 2016, writer and filmmaker Ben Howe found himself disillusioned with the religious movement he'd always called home. In the pursuit of electoral victory, many American evangelicals embraced moral relativism and toxic partisanship.

An analysis of why and how the Religious Right could vote for Donald Trump in 2016, and how the movement can redeem itself and get back on track. In 2016, writer and filmmaker Ben Howe found himself disillusioned with the religious movement he'd always called home. In the pursuit of electoral victory, many American evangelicals embraced moral relativism and toxic partisanship. In The Immoral Majority, Howe-still a believer and still deeply conservative-analyzes and debunks the intellectual dishonesty and manipulative rhetoric that evangelical leaders use to convince Christians to toe the Republican Party line. He covers the history of the Christian Right, as well as the events of the last three decades that led to the current state of the conservative movement at large. As long as evangelicals prioritize power over persuasion, Howe argues, their pews will be empty and their national influence will dwindle. If evangelicals hope to avoid cultural irrelevance, it means valuing the eternal over the ephemeral, humility over ego, and resisting the seduction of political power, no matter the cost. The Immoral Majoritydemonstrates how the Religious Right is choosing the profits of this world at the cost of its soul-and why it's not too late to change course.
