Jelen, Ted G., The Political Mobilization of Religious Beliefs. New York: Praeger, 1991.
Abstract:
Much of the Christian Right is driven by a negative reaction to "religiously defined outgroups." In politics, Americans may share general notions of social acceptability, yet when consensus breaks down as in movements like the Moral Majority, various specific fissures appear between religious groups in values.
