    Neil J. Young’s We Gather Together: The Religious Right and the Problem of Interfaith Politics is a religious history that seeks to explain American political developments from the years following the second world war through the present day. Young argues that the powerful emergence of the Religious Right at the end of the 1970s was not a political strategy of compromise and coalition building founded ad-hoc on the eve of the election of 1980. Rather, as he demonstrates through meticulous research, it was the “latest iteration of a religious debate that had gone on for decades, sparked by both the ecumenical contentions of mainline Protestantism and by secular liberal political victories” (p. 5). As Young writes, his book examines “the religious…

    Throughout all of history and even today, religion has played a major role in the lives of many people and society in general. A time in history where this is prevalent is in the 17th and 18th centuries; the colonization and the building the original 13 colonies. In fact, religion played such an important role in the colonies that religion was sometimes the stem of inner conflict in the colonies. However, on the same hand, religion also had a way of being common ground among the colonists. Religion united the colonists when all were free to worship what faith they wanted and how they wanted to worship and a direct result of this religious freedom was emerging political ideas;however, when religious intolerance, or concern for only one particular…

    I think the French Wars of Religion was more about religious differences because ever since the French nobles became Calvinists, they would show independence from the central power. It created the conflict between Catholics and Calvinists where power was the main struggle making religion become a way bigger issue. The last of the wars would be the war of the Three Henry’s where it showed the overall religious differences between the Catholics and the Protestants. Which this was between Henry III and Henry of Guise versus Henry IV.…

Through marriages, treaties and alliances the empire grew to encompass Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and many other European nations.

    In his article, Malloy describes the different role religion plays in the politics of Europe, America, Canada and Australia. Europe has state churches and is highly secularized with a decline in religious beliefs and its effect on politics. The United States has a separate state and church but there is still a very large religious presence in American politics particularly evangelical Christianity. Canada and Australia are, in some ways, a mix of the European and the American model but with a growing prevalence of evangelicals in politics (Malloy, 2011).…
