…ular, has weakened, ideological intensity and fragmentation have risen. American faith, it turns out, is as fervent as ever; it’s just that what was once religious belief has now been channeled into political belief.

The phrasing here suggests “ideological intensity” is a general proble…

Or that words like “regular,” “real,” and “normal,” in this context are often code for “conservative white Christians”?
