- Bruce: Religion and Social Protest
- The American Civil Rights Movement
- Bruce saw religion as helping to bring about change as the churches provided meeting place and sanctuary. Bruce sees religion as an ideological resource which provides belief and motivation.
- -Taking the moral ground: Love thy neighbour -Challenging dissent: the funeral of M.L.K. -Acting as honest broker: Churches are respected on both sides and is above 'mere politics' -Mobilising public opinion: Black Churches in the South campaigned for support across America.
- The New Christian Right
- Bruce suggests the movement has been largely unsuccessful because the fundamental 'Moral Majority' was only 15%.
- The aims of the movement is to take 'America back to God' by making abortion, divorce and homosexuality illegal.
- Followers strongly believed in 'creationalism' and that the Bible's account of creation is literally true and should be taught in schools.
