Randall Balmer, the John Phillips Professor in Religion at Dartmouth College, is the author of more than a dozen books. Professor Balmer discusses his book BAD FAITH: RACE AND THE RISE OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT. Professor Balmer debunks the myth that the Religious Right formed around opposition to Abortion. Instead, he finds that the movement coalesced around de-segregation of white's only Religious Universities. As the religious right fought to keep their white only segregation academies, Balmer uncovers the roots of evangelical watchwords like “religious freedom” and “family values” while getting to the truth of how this movement began - explaining, in part, what it has become.
