Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: I analyze the organizations that claim to speak on behalf of American religious groups in national politics and compare them to other organized interests. The goal is to give a description of religious representation in American politics while highlighting the features that make religious political organization similar to and distinct from the general patterns of mobilization among American social groups. I find that evaluating religious mobilization and representation in a comparative framework can help advance theoretical understanding. As a category, religious organizations are less focused on direct lobbying . Religious political representatives, however, are far from a homogenous sector of similar organizations with similar activity profiles. Religious political organizations differ from each other in almost every possible way, especially in their relative prominence, their focus, and their structure. Their differences sometimes make each sector of organizations more similar to a non-religious sector of interest groups than to other religious organizations.
