Exit polls following the 2004 presidential election indicated that religious beliefs and issues greatly influenced its outcome. Matters such as abortion, gay marriage, the death penalty, euthanasia, and war set off conversations, often heated, about where God stands on these issues. People of faith continue to read the same Bible yet often draw opposite conclusions concerning what these sacred texts say about social and political issues. This course will provide opportunities to read, discuss, and write about how politics and religious rhetoric are interwoven in today’s American society.
