Steven Meyer responds to Walter Russell Mead's Sept./Oct. 2006 Foreign Affairs article, “God's Country?” and critiques Mead's three categories of Protestantism: liberal, fundamentalist, and evangelical. While liberal and fundamentalist are accurate descriptions, evangelical is a term for those who embrace the evangelion and can be found in all Christian traditions. A better term for the third category would be “orthodox.” If the middle ground category is considered orthodox, than the poles of liberalism and fundamentalism are unorthodox. These poles have been the primary political influences on American politics, not least in the George W. Bush administration
