Born November 29, 1971, Campbell was born and raised in the Canadian city of Medicine Hat, Alberta.[2] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Brigham Young University and Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in political science from Harvard University.[3] His doctoral advisors were Robert D. Putnam and Paul E. Peterson.[3] Campbell is married with two children.
Campbell writes extensively about politics, religion, Mormonism, and civic engagement and is often quoted in the media on these topics.[4][5] He has co-authored the books Secular Surge: A New Fault Line in American Politics with Geoffrey C. Layman and John C. Green; American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us with Robert D. Putnam; and Seeking the Promised Land Mormons and American Politics with Quin Monson and John C. Green. He is also the author of Why We Vote: How Communities Shape our Civic Lives.
Campbell has written about how the rise of secularism in the United States is a direct consequence of a backlash against the close ties between the religious right and the Republican Party.[6] As he summarized his research in an interview, "I would say to churches, on both the left and the right, that if you want to bring people back to the pews, you want to stay out of politics."[7]
