Religion and U.S. Politics *RS/DC   3.00   05/07/2026   06/10/2026   Web/On-line Course

When it comes to American politics, religion may well be the most powerful, yet least understood, force of our times. Polls tell us America is, by far, the most religious of the industrial democracies, and our often- contentious politics reflect that: marriage equality, reproductive justice, family values, gun control, economic justice, healthcare, etc. This class will examine the current impact of religion - both institutional and individual - on politics and social policy in the US. Using texts and case studies we will probe how religious ideas, values, and communities continue to arise and affect the law, politics, economics, journalism, public morality and social policy. Fulfills Ursuline Core Curriculum RS requirement. *RS/DC
