America Tour's stop in Branson, Missouri, on November 4, 2022 n the introductory chapter, we highlighted two essential questions that have motivated this volume: What has Trump changed about the nature of religion and politics in the United States? And what will come after him? Our contributors have offered different answers to and context for these questions. Here we summarize the major conclusions across the chapters, drawing upon their takes as we offer a set of answers to both questions. In addressing each, we look at things through the lens of the four parts of the book-that is, via 1) the changing religious landscape of the United States, 2) the advo-cacy and issue change hastened by the politicization of religion, 3) race as it intersects with aspects of religion, and 4) public and elite ideas about the role of government in advancing religion. In providing an answer for the ques-tion of what comes after Trump, we note what we have not covered in this volume and sketch out an agenda for future research.
