Note: Earlier versions of this segment had a low quality version of a speech by Jerry Falwell. The audio problem has been corrected.
In this episode, I describe the National Prayer Breakfast movement, right-wing Christian nationalists, Reconstructionists, and non-denominational charismatic Christian nationalists.
