The Perils of Politicized Religion
Daedalus ( IF 1.340 ) Pub Date : 2020-07-01 , DOI: 10.1162/daed_a_01805
David E. Campbell

In the United States, religion and partisan politics have become increasingly intertwined. The rising level of religious disaffiliation is a backlash to the religious right: many Americans are abandoning religion because they see it as an extension of politics with which they disagree. Politics is also shaping many Americans' religious views. There has been a stunning change in the percentage of religious believers who, prior to Donald Trump's presidential candidacy, overwhelmingly objected to immoral private behavior by politicians but now dismiss it as irrelevant to their ability to act ethically in their public role. The politicization of religion not only contributes to greater political polarization, it diminishes the ability of religious leaders to speak prophetically on important public issues.

政治化的危机

在美国,宗教和党派政治越来越交织在一起。宗教派别等级的上升是对宗教权利的强烈反对:许多美国人放弃宗教,是因为他们将宗教视为他们不同意的政治延伸。政治也在塑造许多美国人的宗教观点。在唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)担任总统候选人之前,绝大多数反对政客不道德的私人行为的宗教信徒的比例已经发生了惊人的变化,但现在认为这与他们在公共角色上道德行为的能力无关。宗教的政治化不仅加剧了政治上的两极分化,而且削弱了宗教领袖就重要的公共问题发表预言的能力。
