    The U.S. would be crazy religious regardless of who lost the Cold War.

      I do think of how we were on a secularizing trend, but then cranked up religion as national identity as one of the issues which separated us from them.

      I do have optimism that we may be reaching a tipping point in voter blocs and sentiment as the religious right finally “catches the car”, forcing casual supporters to confront what they have been defending.
