As Christians, we have four possible approaches to the Other Manifestations of God (Krishna, Zoroaster, Buddha, Abraham, Moses, Muhammad, Baha'u'llah, etc.) and their Scriptures: 1. Loving respect and acceptance of their Scriptures' beauty and power 2. Brotherly interfaith cordiality with other faiths, no hostility to their Messengers 3. Neutrality on all issues but no negativity 4. Open hostility, disrespect, ridicule, attacks, hatred, fear. It is labeling and pigeonholing, as well as leveling unsupportable ad hominem attacks, to characterize any "whole group" of Christians as falling into one of the above 4 categories! SO NO, "conservative fundamentalist evangelicals" do not ALL HATE and FEAR Muhammad! Many work in interfaith efforts with other religionists, and as a Baha'i who accepts all the Manifestations, I work daily with some of the most determined, Trump loving, far right Christians in interfaith efforts to help build homes for the homeless and other social welfare programs. Ever hear a Christian trash talk another religion's Prophet, then see him working at the local food bank giving food to hungry Islamic kids? Sorry to tell you this, but yes, it happens! I don't want to be guilty of some "let's all just get along" hymn but if you visit jesusbahai dot com you can find more depth and breadth on the topic. The author does a great job of "profiling" a certain nonexistent Christian, but that profile has great value in introspection about how politics can and can't combine with religion. My expertise is in the area of religious violence, and if you visit the violence link on the above site, you'll see how this, and other more interfaith analyses of politics using religion, can give a good or bad name to any and ALL religion. An excellent read if we don't fall into the trap of generalization bias, Exception Fallacy or in this case, the Fallacy of Division, meaning trying to ascribe generalizations about a group to individuals we assign to that group. BTW if you want to temper this viewpoint with humor and gut wrenching honesty try Patton Dodd’s MY FAITH SO FAR! Review: Facinating study, more relevant than ever - Enjoyed reading this. Insightful, illuminative and useful for understanding what is happening in America in the last several decades. As a student of both horror and theology, I found this book to be very interesting and provocative. The style is eminently readable as well (not something you always find in academic studies). Even though the book is now several years old, I still strongly recommend it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,287,121 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #265 in Political Ideologies #443 in Christianity (Books) #773 in Sociology of Religion | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (17) | | Dimensions | 1.2 x 6.4 x 9.3 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0195340817 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0195340815 | | Item Weight | 1.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | August 29, 2008 | | Publisher | Oxford University Press | ## Images ![Religion of Fear: The Politics of Horror in Conservative Evangelicalism - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sNsMvj1WL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding if we are cognizant of the traps of Generalization, Exception and Division fallacies and cognitive biases *by P***Z on June 4, 2018* This book is really about Islam!

Insightful, illuminative and useful for understanding what is happening in America in the last several decades. As a student of both horror and theology, I found this book to be very interesting and provocative. The style is eminently readable as well (not something you always find in academic studies).

Fear and ignorance are close companions: you cannot have one without the other and this book shows both feed on each other. A good book for anyone who feels than extreme right wing religion and dangerous for the state, which is why our founders wrote the first amendment the way they did. They understood the danger of mixing state and religion. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/14081828-religion-of-fear-the-politics-of-horror-in-conservative-evangelicalism](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/14081828-religion-of-fear-the-politics-of-horror-in-conservative-evangelicalism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
