This is in the US? I have rarely heard political homilies.

Religion has been far more politicised in the US than elsewhere. And not exactly in a direction that makes sense to me (a European protestant).

  • European Protestantism and American Protestantism differ in substantial ways. Crudely, European Protestantism went the way of Hegelian dialectics and evolving beyond the Christianity of the Bible. American (conservative) Protestantism largely reacted against that. I think both groups are largely held together by politics today though their politics differ in the expected ways.
