Project 2025 makes the following declaration about what it regards as the proper role of individual freedom in the United States of America:

“When the Founders spoke of “pursuit of Happiness,” what they meant might be understood today as in essence “pursuit of Blessedness.” That is, an individual must be free to live as his Creator ordained—to flourish. Our Constitution grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought.”

According to Project 2025, freedom of speech will be revoked under Donald Trump. You won’t be allowed to say anything that Christian leaders don’t want you to say. In this one short section of Project 2025, Donald Trump’s network of supporters is promising to replace American freedom with the religious tyranny of Christian theocracy.

Christian Nationalists like Candace Owens and Matt Walsh lie to their audiences, with wild conspiracy theories about Satanic plans by Target to attack America’s children with Pride Month merchandise. Instead of standing against Christian Nationalism’s antigay bigotry, Target executives have allowed Christian terrorists to take control of their company.

This episode analyses speeches given by US Representatives Mary Miller, Diana Harshbarger, Andrew Clyde, and Rick Allen on the floor of the United States Congress. One by one, these Christian Nationalist politicians used the concept of faith to attack democracy and call for an end to religious freedom in the United States.

Christian Nationalist Nazis are engaged in violent attacks on America’s streets, and Christian Nationalist supporters of Donald Trump are promoting bizarre conspiracy theories about mermaids. So why are Democrats like Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul promoting Christian Nationalism within the Democratic Party?

How on Earth did Nick Fuentes become so politically influential? He’s been successful in promoting himself by being outrageous. What Fuentes says is genuinely outrageous. We should be outraged by it, but what do we do with that outrage? If Nick Fuentes is building his political reputation through outrage, can we speak about our outrage without promoting Fuentes himself?

The midterm elections of 2022 are over, but local elections are happening across the USA sooner than you think. Christian Nationalists are organizing to take over school boards and city councils to impose their violent unforgiving religious zealotry on the rest of us. Their Christian Nationalism is historically ignorant, prophetically incoherent, and terrifyingly hateful, but we can’t count on Christian Nationalists to fall apart from the weight of their own absurdity. It’s time for us to organize a peaceful resistance to Christian Nationalism. (This podcast episode contains audio of a Christian Nationalist using a crude expletive over and over again, thus the explicit content rating.)

Christian Nationalist politicians from coast to coast claimed that they had the all-powerful god of Christianity on their side. A few of them, like Marjorie Taylor Green, lucked out, but the heavenly mandate failed to show up for most, like Pennsylvania loser for Jesus Doug Mastriano. Still, Oklahoma’s Christian Nationalist Governor Kevin Stitt was re-elected, and now he says that the whole state of Oklahoma is no longer a democracy, but belongs to Jesus. Jesus, you may remember, is not a citizen of the United States.

It’s the day before the midterm elections of 2022, and Christian Nationalist preachers are calling for the use of force to compel Americans to convert to Christianity. Christian prophet Julie Green threatens that US President Joe Biden will be shot dead, and Christian Nationalist Stephen Wolfe wants women to lose the right to vote.

New research from Pew shows that the majority of American Christians are Christian Nationalist. 79 percent of American Christians say they want the Christian bible to shape the American government, but that’s not how democracy works. Real American history shows that founders like Thomas Paine wanted freedom from religion.

Christian Nationalism comes in screaming crazy antisemitic extremism and in gently spoken demands that members of Congress stop following false gods. We explore the full gamut of Christian Nationalism’s manifestations, and its brutal history in the English Civil War.
