Summary

Pollsters and pundits have argued for some time that there is a "God gap" in American politics, with church-attending traditionalists aligning against believers and nonbelievers with modern sensibilities. But recently some commentators have suggested that the gap is closing and may even disappear. Following the election of Barack Obama, there was little discussion of religion-suggesting that religious factors had played little, if any, role in his election. Yet the campaign was full of religious stories, from John McCain's reconciliation with the leaders of the Christian right, to the controversy surrounding the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, to Sarah Palin's appeal to religious conservations.
