Vaccine hesitancy in America didn't begin with the uproar over the mRNA vaccines for Covid-19. The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries saw resistance to a wide variety of vaccines. In Unvaccinated Under God, Kira Ganga Kieffer shows that debates over vaccine safety and mandatory vaccination were about more than diseases or injections. Kieffer argues that vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. should be understood as religious expression—not as the product of scientific misinformation.

Until the nineteenth century, Islam was variously understood as a set of beliefs and practices. But after Muslims began to see their faith as an historical actor on the world stage, they needed to narrate Islam's birth anew as well as to imagine its possible death. Faisal Devji argues that this change, sparked by the crisis of Muslim sovereignty in the age of European empire, provided a way of thinking about agency in a global context: an Islam liberated from the authority of kings and clerics had the potential to represent the human race itself as a newly empirical reality.

By contrast, we learn that Paul's Corinthian correspondence is full of vocabulary associated with democracy, not only the term we know as "Church" (ekkesia) or "people's assembly", which the Christ-group adopted as a self-designation, but other terms with a democratic history and resonance such as eleutheria ("freedom"), paressia ("freedom of speech"), koinonia ("partnership"), isotes ("equality").

I felt compelled to write this book since I feel that we, as American Christians, do not have a firm basis for what we believe concerning our involvement in the governmental space. Many of us are ambivalent concerning our level of participation, feeling that Jesus would prefer that we abstain from this area of life altogether. We have been influenced by various voices, education, and media to believe principles about our country that are not grounded in historical reality.

Continuing the epic of Christendom told in earlier volumes, The Age of Paradise and The Age of Division, the author explains how, between the Italian Renaissance of the 14th century and the Russian Revolution of the 20th, secular humanism displaced Christianity to become the source of modern culture.
