Summary

A 'vibe shift' is underway. Trump's re-election and the gains of populist parties internationally have reinvigorated the right wing. So is the 'surprising rebirth' in religious circles just the manifestation of the new political vibe? In the opening episode of Season 2, Justin Brierley responds to a key objection to his thesis (first posed by Alex O'Connor) as he examines the rise of popular right wing politics in secular and religious circles. Journalist Heather Tomlinson explains her own spiritual and political conversion. Academic researcher Chris Watkin argues that the Bible transcends politics. And Carolyn Morris-Collier tells of a rebirth among Oxford students that may yet be co-opted by a political agenda. Many more thinkers and influencers contribute in the first of a two part show on whether the rebirth is right wing.
