What role should religion — and Christianity in particular — play in public life? This question is at the center of legislative battles brewing in statehouses across the country.

Religion and Public Policy Program experts Michael Emerson and David Brockman joined Baker Institute Director David Satterfield to explore the evolution of the Christian nationalist movement, its support among the U.S. electorate, and its implications for public policy in Texas and across the country.
