Christian conservatives often describe their social, political, and legal activism as emerging from a distinctly Christian “worldview.” But much depends on how the concept of worldview is understood. Rather than a precise analytic tool for rationally comparing evidence about different systems of thought and ways of life, as many Christian thinkers claim, a worldview is a pre-theoretical, historically, and socially contingent “lens” that determines what counts as evidence in the first place. My goal in this book is not to understand the Christian conservative constitutional worldview lens itself, but to understand the reality they see through that worldview lens. For example, the America that the people at First Evangelical saw through their worldview lens the weekend after Obergefell (described in the Preface) appeared to be damaged by the rising floodwaters of secularism and left-wing constitutional change. Christian conservative “defensive crouch” strategies (described in Chap. 1 ) attempted to construct legal vessels capable of helping them staying afloat and staunch the rising tide. By contrast, Christian conservative “constitutional hardball” strategies attempted to create an alternative Christian conservative flood, capable of overwhelming secular opposition. Both strategies were grounded in a particular vision—a story, if you will—of how American constitutional politics was supposed to work, how it had been corrupted, and how to put it right again.
