    Another quibble: I don't think conservative Christian is mutually exclusive with Prosperity Gospel, at least if you look at the clergy Trump associates with and Trump's huge popularity among conservative Christians.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1136649712080211969 …

    Its failure left conservative Christians as a clear minority in a country with no religious establishment, and a religious center best defined as Gnostic/Prosperity-Gospel/Pantheist. (Or Oprah/Osteen/Tolle.)

        In fact, I'd say they're tightly interlaced.

        I also think the inherent Calvinism of a lot of modern Protestant evangelicalism combines with prosperity gospel theology in some really toxic ways - if you think all humans besides the elect are pure evil, and God shows love with prosperity, mass poverty starts to seem sacred.

        misrepresentation of what calvinism is. prosperity 'gospel' has nothing to do with reformed theology.

        Prosperity gospel is mammon worship. So…

        As an Oral Roberts University grad, I can confirm that you’re right. It’s all woven together - political and religious conservatism; and “name it and claim it” prosperity gospel.

        Politically the prosperity gospel is aligned with what I'm calling conservative Christianity (among whites); theologically it's dramatically different; sociologically it's blurry.

        But like race + nationalism it's an example of the danger of the conservative-Christian alignment w/Trump; they could end up as junior partners to heretics as well as ethno-nationalists.

        Differences in theology don't always translate into differences in politics. Even French and Ahmari are not so far apart in their desired political ends.

        Jeet, you're missing Ross's point, which is that none of them are true Scotsmen.
