Money, Lies, and God: An Interview with Katherine Stewart

Send us Fan MailToday I feature an interview with Katherine Stewart, the author of the New York Time bestseller Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy.  The segment is timely in that we discuss income disparities accentuated by the passage of the recent Trump budget. The dominance of Christian nationalism in the current administration isn't helping many of the foot soldiers who helped bring Trump to power. Katherine discusses her new book and much more. Here is a sampling of topics:The uneasy coalitions in Christian nationalism and MAGA worldThe lifeblood of Christian nationalism: bad historyReligious liberty means the freedom to do what Christian nationalists want to doReligion is a tool of autocratic leadersThe threat of the New Right to American governancePower is what unites the religion of the New RightDavid Barton (Where's Waldo) is still activeThe rank and file are ultimately victims of the theology of powerCREDITS:Music is provided by Earl's Taco Shack and Jonus Fair.
