Mike argues that this "Glass Bottom Boat" mentality is failing.Using the logic often applied to police misconduct ("just a few bad apples"), Mike challenges the faithful to take responsibility for their institution. If the "good" Christians don't stand up to the "bad" ones, the whole system is complicit. An episode about integrity, reputation, and why an atheist is fighting to save the soul of the church.Engagement:Viewer Question: "Do you think moderate Christians have a responsibility to publicly denounce Christian Nationalism, or is it unfair to expect them to police their own group?"Visit us at www.Atheistville.com  for more content from Mike Smithgall and the Atheistville team 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@atheistville 💬 Want to be a guest or submit a question?
