Leah L. Burton is a multi-generational Alaskan, former lobbyist, and currently a researcher/writer on Christian Dominionism in American politics. She studied Social Psychology at the University of Alaska, and received her Life Coaching Education at Erikson College in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Leah grew up as a Protestant Lutheran and as witness to the growth of the pilgrimage of neopentacostals to Alaska beginning in the mid 1960’s, which has become “ground zero” for the Christian Dominionist movement in the very area targeted most intensely by their operatives.
She is increasingly sought to speak before college classes, political groups and organizations; and in the media through radio and television interviews. Because of her ever-growing expertise in this virtually unknown area of research, Leah’s writings and strategies are finding their way onto numerous sites and into periodicals. Her work is being quoted and referenced as a source regarding the fight against Christian Nationalism and the preservation of church and state.
As a lobbyist Leah dedicated years of experience fighting for the rights of families and children, on numerous issues including domestic violence, child custody, support, abandonment and neglect. She now devotes that same intensity toward exposing religious extremism in America.
Leah is creative and unorthodox in formulating ideas that bring awareness to her projects. Her passion and commitment to her goals are unmatched and do not decrease in intensity once she has dug into a cause.
