      15. By this way of thinking, ordinary Muslims (non-AQ, non-ISIS) are not real representatives of the faith, just offering a facade.

      16. One irony in all this: religious moderation often an organic development with roots that go back centuries.

      17. Conversely, religious reaction is often not organic development but an innovation, with many novel features with no roots in tradition.

      18. I mean, the idea of the rapture (so popular on religious right) is less than 200 years old. Islamic state is an innovation.

      19. In some ways, what we're witnessing is the break-up of the Eisenhower consensus on religion, a long lasting Cold War relic.

      20. In an American defining itself against Godless communism, the civic religion was the goodness of religion, regardless of content.

      21. Eisenhower: "Our government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith, and I don't care what it is."

      22. Under Eisenhower you could be anything (except an atheist): a Unitarian, a reform Jew, a Catholic, a Mormon, etc.

      23. Eisnehower's civic religion of all-religion-is-good undergone lone collapse, first due to end of Cold War & now cultural wars.

      24. With culture wars, religious issues gained partisan salience, which meant increasingly defining other party (Dems) as Godless.

      25. Richard John Neuhaus was a crucial figure in this new hyper-partisan politicized religiosity, as I discuss here:http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/book-reviews/richard-john-neuhaus-a-life-in-the-public-square-is-a-rewarding-biography-of-an-influential-thinker/article22989723/ …

          26. Neuhaus' attempt to recast Christianity to make it as close as possible to Republican agenda was offensive not just on political terms

          27. To straight-jacket any religious tradition into a partisan orthodoxy involves tremendous cheapening & simplifying. A loss.
