It's been really fascinating to watch the ways that
Evangelical, Mormon, and Pentecostal (EMPish) cultures have begun
to be deconstructed and discussed on a wider cultural
level.
While some still struggle to accurately name the direct
correlation between EMPish cultures and the construction of
the modern-day Republican Party, NPR national correspondent Sarah
McCammon (@sarahmccammon_journalist) discusses the strategy
and implementation of rigid conservative values in her new book The
Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical
Church.
