A landmark examination of the resurgence of religion around
the globe
The Editor in Chief of The Economist and its Lexington
columnist show how the global rise of religion will
dramatically impact our century in God Is Back. Contrary
to the popular assumption that modernism would lead to the
rejection of faith, American-style evangelism has sparked a
global revival. On the street and in the corridors of power the
authors shine a bright light on a vast yet until now hidden
world of religion.
Twenty-first-century faith is being fueled by a very American
emphasis on competition and a customer-driven attitude toward
salvation. Revealing how the religion boom is destabilizing
politics and the global economy, God Is Back concludes
by showing how the same American ideas that created our unique
religious style can be applied to channel the rising tide of
faith away from volatility and violence. About the Author Both

Conventional analysis of contemporary faith divides the world
into two camps of political engagement: liberal secularists,
who reject any role for religion in public life, and
conservative believers, who strive for a Christian or Muslim
state. As a result, discussions on religion and politics
degenerate into arguments over excising religion from or adding
more religion to public life. Readers who subscribe to this
dualistic view will be surprised by "God Is Back." At first
glance, the title gives the impression that John Micklethwait
and Adrian Wooldridge are arguing for an international
faith-based political agenda. But this is a cool-headed book,
more analytical than partisan, marked by crisp prose and
well-formed insights into politics and policy. Although the
authors are sympathetic to religion, they recognize its limits
and problems, especially the tensions between fundamentalist
forms of Christianity and Islam. While explaining the worldwide
renewal of faith, they also examine the flash points of
religion and politics. In the end, they criticize both
secularists and believers. They argue that the main fault lies
not with religion but with the "union of religion and power,"
used coercively. They urge their readers to move beyond a
good/bad view of religion toward a more thoughtful approach
that considers the role of churches in strengthening economies,
providing meaningful work and reducing poverty. A historical
question frames the book: Is modernity hostile to religion? The
authors give two answers. First, the French Revolution proposed
that religion itself was problematic and that societies should
embrace secularism. Second, America's founders envisioned that
religious freedom and its resulting competition might foster a
healthy interplay of faith and politics in public life. "God Is
Back" argues that while Europe has followed the French model of
secularism, the American model of religious tolerance seems to
be prevailing in the world today. The book opens with an
American evangelical-style Bible study in Shanghai, where the
pastor proclaims: "In Europe the church is old. Here it is
modern. Religion is a sign of higher ideals and progress.
Spiritual wealth and material wealth go together. That is why
we will win." These words echo the American view that economic
prosperity meshes with religious freedom. This vignette
supports the book's main point: that religion and modernity are
not at odds, that, in the American mode, they can function
together to create prosperity and individual freedom.
Historians have been making similar arguments for several
decades. But "God Is Back" moves beyond the standard analysis
to argue that religion offers people a wide range of additional
social rewards beyond economic ones, including comfort,
community and meaning. Because modern life tends to cut people
off from tradition, it creates a longing to reconnect that
religion can satisfy. Thus, the more advanced a country
becomes, the greater its people's need for faith to fill in the
gaps left by cultural change. But the atheists keep asking,
Isn't religion the primary source of conflict in the world
today? Wouldn't a secular world be less violent? Can radically
different religions get along in the modern world? The authors
say yes, no and yes. They admit the conflicts but insist that
the American model provides a hopeful template for religious
pluralism and mutual tolerance. I have a few quibbles with
their argument. In the historical sections, they depend too
heavily on evangelical historians, thus giving their overview
of American religion -- and Christianity in general -- an
overwhelmingly Protestant cast. In addition, they accept the
theory that people choose religion rationally on the basis of
its social benefits; this is a hotly debated topic in religious
studies. As journalists, however, Micklethwait and Wooldridge
excel: Their eye for detail, ability to see the other side of
the story, sense of nuance and irony are all highly developed.
"God is Back" is an intelligent account of contemporary
religion and the role it might play in making the modern world
more open, tolerant and peaceful. In the end, the authors
confess that their basic message "is a profoundly liberal one."
Complete religious freedom -- including the freedom to reject
religion -- is the best human path to the future. To that it
can be hoped that people say: Amen.
