Though not all people are religious believers, religion has played
important historic roles in developing political systems, parties,
and policies-affecting believers and non-believers alike. This is
particularly true in the United States, where scholars have devoted
considerable attention to a variety of political phenomena at the
intersection of religious belief and identity, including social
movements, voting behavior, public opinion, and public policy.
These outcomes are motivated by "identity boundary-making" among
the religiously affiliated. The contributors to this volume examine
two main factors that influence religious identity: the
communication of religious ideas and the perceptions of people
(including elites) in communicating said ideas. Exploring the
Public Effects of Religious Communication on Politics examines an
array of religious communication phenomena. These include the
media's role in furthering religious narratives about minority
groups, religious strategies that interest groups use to advance
their appeal, the variable strength of Islamophobia in
cross-national contexts, what qualifies as an "evangelical"
identity, and clergy representation of religious and institutional
teachings. The volume also provides ways for readers to think about
developing new insights into the influence religious communication
has on political outcomes.
