Summary

Rick Wilson checks in from the DNC in Chicago and brings you his interview with Stephen Ukaki about his film, 'Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy.’ Their discussion explores the ways in which evangelical activism and religious manipulation have shaped the political landscape and caused the emergence of Christian Nationalism, a dangerous bastardization of the Gospels that helped Donald Trump win the election in 2016 and, if left unchecked, could help him win this year as well.
