American religion is intrinsically bound to gender and family but not to race

Evidence

This raises an important question: Why do religious commitment and Christian nationalism work in a similar direction for gender, sexuality, and divorce, but not for most of the issues we discussed in previous chapters? Most obviously, religion, at least for contemporary Americans, may be more fundamentally related to issues of gender, family, and sexuality in ways that it is not related to ethnic, racial, or national boundaries and hierarchies. — Andrew L. Whitehead; Samuel L. Perry, Taking America Back for God, 438
