Kjell O Lejon, professor of religious studies, has written a book about the impact of religion on American politics.
He believes that from a Swedish perspective we have lost keys to interpretation when it comes to understanding how Americans choose their leaders.
- When we look for Christian identity markers in American politics, they are everywhere. "Good bless America" ends all line numbers. Many voters choose a leader who makes decisions that follow their values. Unlike Sweden, religion and politics have never been separated in the United States. Says Kjell O Lejon in Aktuelltstudion.
