Four Tools of The Devil A Reaction Part 1

Judge them by their fruits—and right now, those fruits are looking kind of rotten.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Creation's Paths, Charlie and Brian confront the growing influence of Christian nationalism in the United States. As Christopagan Druids, they explore their personal history with evangelical cults, unpack Pastor Ralph Drollinger’s Capitol Hill Bible studies, and challenge the dangerous rhetoric shaping U.S. policy. Through theological critique, historical context, and spiritual insight, they expose how far-right religious ideologies are distorting the teachings of Jesus to justify bigotry, patriarchy, and queerphobia.

With clarity and compassion, they break down misused scripture like Romans 1, call out the roots of Christian nationalism in slavery-era politics, and discuss the weaponization of terms like "secular humanism" and "judaizer." This is the first part of a two-part series aimed at shedding light on the systems of oppression hiding under the guise of faith.
