Today I feature an interview with Katherine Stewart, the author of the New York Time bestseller Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy. The segment is timely in that we discuss income disparities accentuated by the passage of the recent Trump budget. The dominance of Christian nationalism in the current administration isn't helping many of the foot soldiers who helped bring Trump to power.
Katherine discusses her new book and much more. Here is a sampling of topics:
- The uneasy coalitions in Christian nationalism and MAGA world
- The lifeblood of Christian nationalism: bad history
- Religious liberty means the freedom to do what Christian nationalists want to do
- Religion is a tool of autocratic leaders
- The threat of the New Right to American governance
- Power is what unites the religion of the New Right
- David Barton (Where's Waldo) is still active
- The rank and file are ultimately victims of the theology of power
