Wald and Elizabeth Oldmixon challenge the perception that religious influence in American politics is a problem to be solved. Instead, they contend that religion is a form of social identification that not only shapes our ideas about politics, but it also shapes the behavior of political elites and ordinary citizens, the interpretation of public laws, and the development of government programs. Ultimately, the authors show how religion plays a fascinating and crucial role in our nation's political process and in our culture at large.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKenneth D.
