According to the Christian conservative master narrative described in the last section, America’s founding documents are like the Hebrew scriptures: a sacred binding covenant with God himself. And the ordinary, mundane laws that flow from that constitutional order are supposed to be based directly on God’s commands. This is a version of the two realms plot: God promises to bless the nation if its laws enforce God’s commands, but God also promises to curse the nation with untold punishment and disaster if its laws allow and foster sinful behavior. This two realms plot movement, as it concerns the founding, sets up all the other plot movements of the master narrative: the mental replacement of liberal democratic values with theocratic, or at least authoritarian, values, the rebuke of contemporary American constitutional politics for being insufficiently Christian, and the attempted restoration of the nation to its ostensibly Christian constitutional foundations. Like every good story, the Christian conservative master narrative has an antagonist—in this case, a villain—that it blames for throwing the plot off track. Many of my Christian conservative respondents placed the blame for turning the nation against its Christian heritage squarely at the feet of the nation’s judges and courts. They accused the Supreme Court, in particular, for completely abandoning America’s original constitutional order, turning its back on God himself, and incurring God’s justified wrath and punishment as a result.
