ABSTRACT

The following is an illustration concerning the relationship between religion and politics.

while a large section of Middle America is devoted to evangelical Christianity. Historically they are at odds with one another; both see themselves as exponents of the purest version of their faith, are suspicious of modernity and see no distinction between politics and religion. Both of these spiritual empires have been invading Britain since the last part of the twentieth century onwards. Increasingly foreign-financed and foreign-inspired religious conservatives have been recruiting volunteers, establishing schools, setting up publishing houses, think tanks, places of worship and cultural outlets.
