Religion and Media in America

Abstract

From the fight over the addition of God to the Pledge of Allegiance to religious satire on late night television, Anthony Hatcher argues in Religion and Media in America that American media, popular culture, and Christianity are inextricably linked by their history, development, and mutual impact on one another. While the book’s title and introduction promise a history and examination of the deep ties between American media and religion, the book discusses a range of cultural artifacts and focuses solely on Christianity.
