"American democracy is under attack from an authoritarian movement."

The thesis:

"The development in the American religious landscape that often attracts media interest is the rise of the “nones”—those who do not identify with any religion. But more attention should be paid to a countervailing trend: fast-growing varieties of reactionary forms of American Christianity that frequently claim to be engaged in “spiritual warfare.” These varieties share several key features: They are essentially dualistic, in that their adherents are encouraged to believe in the reality of a principle of evil in the world that takes the form of demons or unholy spirits. And they are very much religions of “the here and now,” as the author Elle Hardy put it. That is, they read the struggles between good and evil in the daily headlines, and they promise earthly, material rewards to those who join the struggle on their side."
