It is true that traditional Christianity is losing some of its appeal among Americans, but that is a religious, not political, matter.

Wade and the rise of Jimmy Carter brought evangelicalism into the political mainstream. That's because faith remains a complicated issue for Obama, who is still wrongly thought to be a Muslim in some quarters. ↗
