| 内容記述 | This article traces the impact of religion on American national politics from independence in 1776 to the present. The story begins with the current controversy about the religious beliefs of the most famous “Founding Fathers” and the creation of a secular republic via the Constitution and its First Amendment. The nineteenth century was marked by growing religious diversity, notably fragmentation within the Protestant majority and the arrival of significant Roman Catholic and Jewish minorities, as well as the growing impact of religious issues on politics. In general devout Protestants supported the Federalist, Whig, and Republican parties, while Catholics and free thinkers usually favored the Democrats, a tendency that has continued to the present. Protestant advocates of the “social gospel” were especially active d+ring the pre-World War I reform movement that historians warily call Progressivism. World War I deepened religious divisions, and the 1920s was marked by many bitter religion-related controversies, including increased anti-Semitism and Protestant opposition to the first Catholic nominated for president by a major party (Democrat Al Smith in 1928). During the Great Depression President Franklin D. Roosevelt created a remarkable Democratic coalition that included most Catholics and Jews along with many southern conservative Protestants. The period between World War II and the early 1960s brought a multifaceted but increasingly tolerant religious revival that has affected national politics to the present. The most recent six presidents (Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush) have been more conventionally Christian than the first six (George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams). Nonetheless, religion-related conflict has persisted and, compared to the 1950s, even escalated. President Ronald Reagan brought a “new Christian right” into his Republican coalition, and President George W. Bush, a born again Protestant, courted this conservative constituency with some high level appointments and the rhetoric of American mission. Democrats and secularists harshly criticized Bush’s tactics. We must beware of joining commentators who describe these conflicts, in typical American hyperbole, as a “culture war.” Rather, they represent the latest in a long series o% cultural “shouting matches” seeking to define a normative “American Way of Life.” |
