Exporting the American Gospel: Global

One of the most significant cultural influences exported from the United States, this fusion of popular religion and politics supports new capitalist and patriarchal structures and a global culture of consumption and consumer gratification. Engaging in spiritual warfare with their global competitors - Islam, socialism, feminism, secular humanism, and Catholicism - the new fundamentalists are helping to reconfigure the role of the United States in the 'new world order.'
