Bradley Onishi grew up in a nonreligious home in California before his extreme conversion to evangelicalism at age 14. By age 20 he was married and leading a 200-student youth group. After 7 years in ministry, he decided to pursue his Masters in Theology at Oxford University - where he ended up deconstructing his faith.

In this episode of the Divorcing Religion podcast, Brad shares intimately about his own conversion and deconstruction, as well as his current work highlighting Christian Nationalism in the USA.
Dr. Onishi's most recent book, to be released in 2023, is PREPARING FOR WAR: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism - and What Comes Next.
