The COVID-19 pandemic has tested American religious communities and created a new politics of religion centered on public health. An Epidemic among My People explores how the virus and government policy affected religion in America, including the link between the prosperity gospel and conspiracy theories, the increased purchase of firearms by evangelicals, the politics of challenging public health orders as religious freedom claims, and the reactions of Christian nationalists, racial groups, and female clergy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented religion with a paradoxical challenge: while faith is essential for navigating life's difficulties and making critical decisions, how can it continue to provide these benefits and contribute to societal structure without social interaction? This thought-provoking volume, titled "An Epidemic among My People," delves into the impact of the pandemic on American religious communities and the emergence of a new politics of religion focused on public health. The editors and contributors explore the multifaceted ways in which the virus and government policies have influenced religion in the United States. Chapters examine the connection between the prosperity gospel and conspiracy theories, the surge in firearm purchases among evangelicals, the political battles over challenging public health orders as claims of religious freedom, and the responses of Christian nationalists, racial groups, and female clergy to the pandemic and its political implications.
As the pandemic unfolded, sharp divisions emerged between individuals and their governments, creating a comprehensive portrait of religion in American public life. "An Epidemic among My People" offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics and evolving roles of religion during this unprecedented time.
