For quantitative analysis of American Christianity, see Stark and Finke, The Churching of America.
For narrative history of the rise of contemporary evangelicalism as a right-wing political entity, see Darren Dochuk, From Bible Belt to Sunbelt; and Daniel Williams, God's Own Party: The Making of the Christian Right.
On how Christians dealt with the issue of slavery, see Mark Noll, The Civil War as Theological Crisis.
But to give my opinion (studied this in grad school), no, that's horseshit. He's just making up something that allows him to reduce cognitive dissonance.
The book God's Own Party suggests that it started with the identification of Communism as the ultimate enemy of Christianity. At some point, it got into a self-reinforcing spiral, where if some is good, more is better.
Most of the bylines at Sojourners show you what churches those authors make their homes in.
God's Own Party also provides a comprehensive narrative on the rise of the Religious Right and its political influences. Its been well received in the field of American Religious history.

The only thing you are going to do with this "genocide in the Middle East" is scream about the persecutions of Christians. And then you are going to go to church and your pastor is going to scream about christian persecution. But hes only gonna spend 15 minutes talking about the middle east before he gets onto the topics of how Liberal education is turning kids away from religion and that Colleges and Democrats are trying to undermine the christian foundations of this nation. Christianity in America has SEVERELY deluded people to the the machinations of politics and how those machinations effect international political dynamics. WE (as in YOU AND ME) are genociding Christians in the middle east with our silent support of the war in Afghanistan and whatever the hell we did in Iraq and our support of Saudi Arabia. And then our government is trying to prevent these refugees from even coming here. Christians in america are addicted to the cycle of persecution, we need to stop going to church, and start making America and the world a better place.
