State Of The Union: The Evangelical vote
BBC News
By Tim Egan
In Montana


In the weeks surrounding the presidential election, the BBC has broadcast the reflections of commentators around the United States, offering a range of different viewpoints.

In the final programme in the series, New York Times correspondent Tim Egan says the conservative Christian community was crucial to George Bush's success.


The words on the 25-cent coin read, "In God We Trust" and schoolchildren across the United States pledge daily to a flag and "one nation - under God".

So it should come as no surprise that, when George W Bush was re-elected to a second term this week, it was largely because of people whose politics begin and do not end in church.

Isn't that how the Pledge ends?

There's your new Democratic message.
