This is On Point. I'm Megna Chakra-Bardi. Today, we're going to have our second episode in our look at what happens to a nation when religious fundamentalism comes to power. This little pop-up series is inspired by questions you sent us when I asked you several weeks ago what you want to know about the U.S. and Israel's war

with Iran. Yesterday, we talked about the rise of Shia extremism in Iran. Today, we turn our

attention to religious fundamentalism in the United States government. That's an excerpt from a two-part

national public radio series. What happens when

religious fundamentalism comes to power? Are they the same thing? Religious fundamentalism

that has been in power since 1979 in Iran and some statements made by U.S. officials in the United

States. Welcome back to issues, CETRA. I'm Todd Wilkin.

Thanks for tuning us on live on this Thursday afternoon, the 16th of April.

We'll talk with Terry Mattingly about this NPR feature.

Then Stephanie Nugabauer joins us to discuss Satan's lies about the value of life.

We will then have Pastor Peter Bender describe a dying man's

consolation from the 2023 issues, et cetera, making the case conference. Terry Mattingly, his senior

fellow on communications and culture at St. Constantine College in Houston, Texas. He writes

Rational Sheep, a substack newsletter on faith, family, and mass

media. He's author of the National on Religion column for the Andrews McMill Universal Syndicate,

and for two decades, he led the getreligion.org website. Terry, welcome back.

Glad to be here. So this two-part series, the first one was on Iran and the second one on the

U.S. is fundamentalism series, the first one was on Iran and the second one on the U.S.
