What Obama’s revolution means for religion in America. I’m pretty skeptical of these claims. That said there is evidence that religiosity is inversely related to statism. However a religion that is only practiced because people don’t have the state as religion doesn’t seem a terribly useful one. i.e. I’m not sure people should choose a religion as a kind of psychology default.
