“The most listened to religion and politics podcast today”
An in-depth examination of the culture and politics of Christian Nationalism and the Religious Right by two ex-evangelical ministers-turned-religion professors. Our work is analytical, unflinching, and accessible. Three times per week we break down the most important topics, events, and histories at the intersection of religion and politics through a research-based approach. If you have ever wondered what social and historical forces formed the Religious Right, led white Christians to usher Donald Trump into the White House, how and why J6 was fueled by religious fervor, and what comes next for a nation threatened by Christian nationalism, this podcast is for you. As former insiders and critical scholars of religion, Dan Miller and Bradley Onishi have a unique perspective on American politics and religion.
