The house has lately been the scene of notorious political scandal, but more crucially it is home to efforts to transform the very fabric of American democracy. And now, after laying bare its tenants' past in \u003ci\u003eThe Family\u003c\/i\u003e, Sharlet reports from deep within fundamentalism in today's world, revealing that the previous efforts of religious fundamentalists in America pale in comparison with their long-term ambitions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Barack Obama entered the White House, headlines declared the age of culture wars over.
