What is Christian Nationalism?
Christian Nationalism is an extremist political ideology that claims America should be and has always been a "Christian nation." In recent years, we have seen a resurgence of Christian Nationalism, threatening to undermine our democratic values and principles.
On this season of Christian In Name Only, we'll explore how this ideology has defined morality and impacted public policy. We'll discuss its potential impacts on our freedoms of expression, speech, and practice of religion.
