"Demystifying the US Christian Right"

The Christian Right is an influential but widely misunderstood interest group in US politics. Comprised mainly of politically conservative born-again and evangelical Christians, this group has weighed significantly in the two elections of George Bush to the presidency, and the continuation of the GOP Congress since the mid-1990s. Nonetheless, the Christian Right has had relatively limited policy success in comparison to its electoral power. The purpose of this presentation will be to describe and analyze this widely misunderstood group, to overcome common stereotypes in order to convey an accurate assessment of its role in US politics.

"Religion and the Presidency"

Although many contemporary observers characterize George W. Bush as a president uniquely influenced by his religiosity, he is merely one in a long list of US chief executives guided in their politics and policies by religious beliefs. This presentation will provide a broad overview of the role that religion has played in the US presidency, going back to the founding era and then ultimately emphasizing the modern presidency.
