Christian Nationalism and the Fight for American Democracy

from On Democracy with FPWellman · host Fred Wellman

Christian nationalism has moved from the political margins into the center of American political power. As religious movements increasingly influence government, public policy, and the Republican Party, a growing debate is emerging over what that means for the future of American democracy and the constitutional separation of church and state. Fred is joined by Congressman Jared Huffman, author of the new book No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism, to discuss the roots of Christian nationalism, its role in the January 6th insurrection, its growing influence inside government, and what it will take to build a broad coalition capable of defending secular democracy and religious freedom. Stay to the end as Fred dives into the growing wage gap and how close we are to disaster if we don't make real change soon. Learn more about Jared Huffman at jaredhuffman.com Sponsor: Chapter"For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial  937-507-8644 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to www.askchapter.org/ondemocracy *Paid Partnership* Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
