Christian nationalists want to turn America into a theocracy, a government under biblical rule.

If they gain more power, it could mean fewer rights for you.

I'm Heath Drusen and on the new season of Extremely

American I'll take you inside the movement. Listen to Extremely American from

Boise State Public Radio, part of the NPR Network.

You're listening to Life Kit, from NPR.

Hey everybody, it's Mariel. I want you to think about the last time you got a

side salad at a restaurant. I'm thinking it was iceberg lettuce, maybe some shredded carrots from a bag, possibly a couple

cherry tomatoes, and like ranch dressing. I don't know about you, but when I'm

hungry that is not what I'm fantasizing about.

It's cold.

It's listless.

Kyle Norris, who's a radio producer, would tend to agree with me. He's a meat and potatoes kind of guy.

Yeah, my name's Kyle Norris, but my name should be Kyle Cheeseburger Norris,

because if you opened up my heart, you'd find a cheeseburger inside.

But he has recently found himself enthusiastically making salads.

Seriously, this is him the other day.

And I'm a chop up my cabbage.

That was about half of a head of the red cabbage.

I'm going to chop up this half a bell pepper.

It's red for some bright pop, and I love the crunch and the taste.

Mm, pretty.
