I imagine a big part of that religion-in-society picture is the neverending jousting between different sects of Christianity, Catholic vs protestant being the most obvious on the large scale.

There's a lot of interesting nuance and implications for organization of society at large--including non-religious aspects--in there.

If you're familiar with the cathedral vs bazaar allegory, same thing. There's a strong analogy between someone doing their own research to find the OT passages to support their priors and someone doing their own research in medicine, both ignoring what experts have to say.

I'd say this isn't so much about a Christian right trend as much as a trend in society as a whole.
