Today we're talking about the Left's favorite pretend villain: Christian nationalism. As one year passed since the Capitol riot, the bad takes about Christianity and conservatives were flying fast and furious all over the internet. Even renowned Christian theologians like Russell Moore have fallen into the trap of thinking that "Christian nationalism" is some kind of existential threat to America. We'll discuss why that isn't the case and how the real threat of authoritarianism in America is coming from the Left, not conservatives. And, we respond to the pope's recent comment that couples who have pets instead of having kids are being selfish.
