Gimme That New Time Religion (from "Separation Anxiety")
from Virginia Humanities · host Virginia Humanities

On this episode of BackStory, the History Guys explore the often blurry line between church and state in America – from Congress’ attempts to block a Mormon Senator in the early 1900’s, to the federal government’s imprisonment of religious pacifists who refused to fight in the first world war.
