Abstract

Tocqueville avait raison. Avec deux siècles de retard, le 11 septembre 2001, l'Europe a enfin découvert l'Amérique. Une Amérique dont la démocratie est religieuse et dont la religion est politique. Une Amérique que Dieu a prédestinée à la puissance et qui mène ses guerres au nom de Dieu. Une Amérique où le libéralisme et la sécularisation exaltent la nation et où le fondamentalisme est devenu culte national. Du Mayflower aux Twin Towers, de George Washington à George W, Bush, des Puritains aux télévangélistes en passant par la Bible, Israël, les Lumières, l'empire, le messianisme, le millénarisme, et l'islam... voici un voyage aussi inédit que crucial au cœur des Etats-Unis, de leur genèse et de leur histoire. Ainsi que de leur présent, annonçant des lendemains plus crépusculaires peut-être qu'il n'y paraît.

Abstract

The Cold War was in many ways a religious war. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower and other American leaders believed that human rights and freedom were endowed by God, that God had called the United States to defend liberty, and that Soviet communism was evil because of its atheism and enmity to religion. Along with security and economic concerns, these religious convictions helped determine both how the United States defined the enemy and how it fought the conflict. Meanwhile, American Protestant churches failed to seize the moment. Internal differences over theology and politics, and resistance to cooperation with Catholics and Jews, hindered Protestant leaders domestically and internationally. Frustrated by these internecine disputes, Truman and Eisenhower attempted to construct a new civil religion to mobilize domestic support for Cold War measures, determine the strategic boundaries of containment, unite all religious faiths against communism, and to undermine the authority of communist governments abroad.
