Summary

Christian Nationalism is a giant threat to our country. A danger to women, to minorities, to the marginalized and to democracy itself. While these white, Christian nationalists believe they’re saving the country from heathenism, what they’re really offering is a theocracy of top down control with themselves at the top. We must see this threat for what it is, and that starts with understanding. Tim Whitaker is the founder of the New Evangelicals, an inclusive, Jesus-centered community that holds space for those marginalized by the evangelical church and advocates for systemic change. Raised deep in the evangelical world – Tim had a crisis of faith watching his church leaders embrace a man who was so antithetical to what he had been taught to believe. He now holds the toxic churches and their leaders accountable, while still offering a home of faith to his fellow Christians. Please join us for this incredibly engaging conversation.

to put it very succinctly for your audience.

Jesus teaches us as Christians to bear a cross for our enemies,

0:07.7

and Christian nationalism wants to build a cross

0:10.6

to crucify theirs.

0:12.0

That's the difference. So it's not just

0:14.4

Christianity, it's a very specific strain of Christian thinking that is

0:18.4

militant and that will take over if it gets the chance to do it. Hello and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Le Magowan. Let's get into it.

Statistics show us that the importance of religion in the lives of Americans is shrinking.

A new study from the Pew Research Center found that the largest

0:44.4

religious group in America is now what's being called the Nuns, not N-U-N-S, but N-O-N-E-S, meaning religiously unaffiliated.

0:54.8

A group of people made up of atheists, agnostics, and people who say their religion is nothing

0:59.9

in particular.

1:01.2

The survey showed that many people in this group participate in any type of

1:05.0

of religious service. This group of nuns is now a bigger group

1:12.4

than U.S. Catholics or evangelical Protestants.

1:15.2

American Christians on the whole are still the largest group,

1:28.6

as they can to retain power.

1:30.3

For them, this is it.

1:31.8

They solidify their place at the top now, or they are forced forever to share it with those they

1:36.1

deem less worthy.
