Abstract
In 2006, journalist and former Republican strategist Kevin Phillips wrote, "Evangelicals, Southern Baptist Convention adherents and others oppose government social and economic programs because they interfere with a person’s individual responsibility for his or her salvation." My paper investigates whether Southern Baptists and Evangelicals oppose welfare programs for religious reasons.
