520 _a"How did evangelicals become the attack troops of the right wing? The bitter political and religious divides we see today in America have roots that go back decades, and the televangelist Pat Robertson was one of the first to determine how battle lines were drawn. Robertson, a leading Trump supporter, rose to national prominence in the 1960s with his Christian Broadcasting Network and his hit show The 700 Club. Terry Heaton, who was instrumental in Robertson's rise to power, provides the inside story of how, using deliberate and strategic social engineering, evangelicals moved Christians steadily into the Republican Party -- and moved the party itself to the far right." --
