Why God is Winning

Religion was supposed to fade away as globalization and freedom spread. Instead, it's booming around the world, often deciding who gets elected. And the divine intervention is just beginning. Democracy is giving people a voice, and more and more, they want to talk about God.

"prophetic politics"

Democracy is giving the world's peoples their voice, and they want to talk about God

modernization would inevitably extinguish religion's vitality

God's comeback is in no small part due to the global expansion of freedom

marriage of religion with politics is often welcomed, if not demanded, by people around the world

most dynamic religiosity today is not so much "old-time religion" as it is radical, modern, and conservative

Religious radicalscan quickly short-circuit democracy

Religion has mobilized millions of people to oppose authoritarian regimes, inaugurate democratic transitions, support human rights, and relieve human suffering

God is winning in global politics
