In his book, A Christian America: Protestant Hopes and Historical Realities, Robert T. Handy stresses "the important role that the idea of civilization has played in the evangelical Protestant denominations that together made up the dominant religious subculture of nineteeth-century America." Handy contends that the English-speaking evangelical Protestant denominations-he includes the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Disciples of Christ, United Brethren, and the evangelical wing in the Protestant Episcopal Church-thought of themselves as making up the "religious mainstream of the nation" and were motivated by the vision of a Christian America. They saw it as their task to work for the creation of a nation based on Christian principles, and they sought to utilize a number of institutions, voluntary organizations, and techniques to achieve that goal
