Five Current U. S. Protestant Political Outlooks

"There are currently five major streams of Protestant political outlook and activism."

1) The old Religious Left

2) The old Religious Right

3) The neo-Anabaptist Left

4) MAGA Christianity

5) TheoBro Right

Finally, there is the TheoBro right, which wants a Christian confessional state that legally privileges Christianity as the only remedy for defeating the Left. Some of its leaders openly denounce voting rights for women as a liberal, modern corruption that undermines the family. Its denizens are not very numerous but have a high profile through social media. And its influence exceeds its numbers because it is aligned with much of MAGA Christianity. Its chief literature is Stephen Wolfe’s The Case for Christian Nationalism. Many of its followers descend from Calvinist entrepreneur Doug Wilson of Moscow, Idaho. The American Reformer is its chief online exponent.
