Adam talks to Peter about the role of religion in politics, the decline in church attendance and religious affiliation, the unholy alliance between the Christian Right and Donald Trump and the idea of faith in politics as a whole. Has the alliance between evangelical voters and Trump “come at very high cost to the Christian witness,” as Peter writes? This question and more are explored  in Adam and Peter’s engaging and deeply philosophical discourse.
