In this episode of One Nation, Indivisible, host Andrew Seidel recounts his recent experience briefing the Congressional Freethought Caucus on the secular foundations of the U.S. Constitution and the dangerous disinformation campaigns driving Christian nationalism. Joined by Reverend Dr. Brian Kaylor, author of Baptizing America, the conversation covered everything from the godless origins of the Constitution to the fabricated myths pushed by figures like David Barton and embraced by politicians like Speaker Mike Johnson. Andrew reflects on the need to reclaim patriotism as a defense of freedom of thought, explains how historical lies fuel modern Christian nationalist legislation, and highlights coordinated efforts like Project Blitz that aim to erode church-state separation. Despite the challenges, he shares a hopeful message about members of Congress who genuinely care about truth, democracy, and protecting real religious freedom—not the weaponized version used by extremists.

In this episode of One Nation, Indivisible, host Andrew Seidel is joined by Elizabeth Cavell, Deputy Legal Director at the Freedom From Religion Foundation, to break down a major Supreme Court case that could reshape religious exemptions in the U.S. At the center: whether Catholic Charities Bureau should be exempt from Wisconsin’s unemployment insurance system based on its religious affiliation.

Seidel and Cavell explore the history of unemployment insurance in Wisconsin, the legal and constitutional arguments at play, and how this case fits into a broader strategy by religious liberty advocacy groups like the Beckett Fund. They also critique the justices’ questions during oral arguments and consider the potential ripple effects on social safety nets and church-state separation.

Chief Justice John Roberts has only ever read one dissent from the bench—and it was his scathing take on the decision that brought marriage equality to the United States: Obergefell v. Hodges. In this episode, host Andrew Seidel revisits that landmark case and explores an unsettling question: Could the current Supreme Court overturn marriage equality?

With a sharply conservative bench and Christian nationalist legal groups working behind the scenes, this possibility is more real than many would like to admit.

To unpack this complex legal landscape, Andrew is joined by Brandon Wolf, LGBTQ+ advocate, Pulse nightclub survivor, and author of A Place for Us. Together, they dive into:

• The history and impact of Obergefell v. Hodges
• Where the conservative justices currently stand on LGBTQ+ rights
• The rise of religious legal groups like Liberty Counsel
• State-level efforts to undermine marriage equality
• What a possible challenge to Obergefell might look like—and how soon it could come

While this episode doesn’t aim to cause panic, it does offer a clear-eyed look at the threats we’re facing—and how to fight back.

In this episode of One Nation, Indivisible, host Andrew Seidel unpacks the historical and modern implications of the U.S. Constitution’s deliberate exclusion of references to God or Jesus. He dismantles the long-standing myth that George Washington added “So help me God” to the presidential oath—tracing this falsehood back to Washington Irving’s embellishments—and explores how this fabricated tradition has endured over time.

Andrew also examines pivotal moments in American history where the use of secular versus religious language in government has been fiercely debated, shedding light on the ongoing struggle against Christian nationalism. Tune in for a deep dive into why the framers intentionally kept religion out of the Constitution and why protecting that foundation remains crucial today.
