Professor David E. Campbell is the Packey J. Dee Professor of American Democracy, University of Notre Dame and co-author of the award-winning book, American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us鈥
In recent decades, the fastest growing religion is the 鈥渘ones鈥濃攑eople who do not identify with a religion. One factor in this secular surge is a backlash to the politics of the Religious Right. This lecture examines how the growth of secularism has affected a religious community that has been moving into the mainstream of American culture, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How have members of this religious community reacted to the 鈥淭rump takeover鈥 of the Republican Party? What do these developments portend for the wider religious sector?鈥
