City of Man

If God is omnipotent, what is the point of political activism?

Though Ben Howe, the author of the book, The Immoral Majority: Why Evangelicals Chose Political Power over Christian Values, never asks readers that specific question, he may as well have. Using his experience raised in an evangelical family (his father is a pastor and theologian), Howe, a conservative filmmaker and columnist, takes on a delicate trifecta of issues: religion, politics, and morality. He chronicles his disillusionment with evangelicals who not only voted for Trump but became hardcore supporters while preaching values anathema to their new champion.
