Why do so many conservative Christians continue to support Donald Trump despite his many overt moral failings? Why do many Americans advocate so vehemently for xenophobic policies, such as a border wall with Mexico? Why do many Americans seem so unwilling to acknowledge the injustices that ethnic and racial minorities experience in the United States?In this episode, Natalie interviews Dr. Andrew Whitehead, sociologist and author of the award-winning book Taking America Back for God, which points to the phenomenon of "Christian nationalism," the belief that the United States is, and should be a Christian nation. The first comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States, Taking America Back for God illustrates the influence of Christian nationalism on today's most contentious social and political issues.
