Several very senior U.S. officials recently participated in an event called Rededicate 250,

which was billed as a harmless patriotic celebration, a rededication of our country as one nation under God.

But if you scratch beneath that glossy veneer, what you actually find is a coordinated effort to hijack American history

and replace it with a false narrative of Christian nationalism.

So let's clear up exactly what Christian nationalism is because it gets conflated with everyday faith all the time.

Being a Christian who loves the United States is simple. You practice your

faith, you appreciate your country, and you coexist within a secular legal framework that protects

everyone's rights to do the same. Christian nationalism is entirely different. It's a political

ideology, not a religious one. It insists that the United

States was founded exclusively as a Christian nation, that our laws should be derived from the Bible,

and that Christians should hold a distinct privileged status in government and public life.

When high-ranking government officials show up to an event like Rededicate 250 and lend

the weight of the state to that ideology, they aren't just celebrating history.

They're actively rewriting it.

They are erasing the enlightenment principles of our actual founders who explicitly wrote a secular constitution to

ensure that a citizen's religious beliefs or lack thereof would never dictate their standing in

society. Christian nationalism is a direct threat to the separation of church and state,

and it is the fastest way to turn non-Christians, agnostics, atheists,

into second-class citizens. We've got the phone lines open, and we want to hear from you.

If you think the U.S. is a Christian nation, or if you think Christian nationalism is exactly what this country needs,

call in and let's talk about it because the show starts now.

Hey, welcome everybody.
