Episode 475: Mammoths, McDowell, & Making Sense of White Supremacy with Robert P. Jones

Published: Sept. 22, 2021, 1 p.m.

Data from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) has found that white Christians\u2014including mainline Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals\u2014are the most racist religious group in America, Robert P. Jones, the CEO of PRRI, says this isn\u2019t a bug within white American Christianity, but a feature. He discusses his new book \u201cWhite Too Long\u201d about the lingering legacy of white supremacy in the church. Also this week, apologist Josh McDowell joins those saying CRT is the greatest threat facing the church, but does his argument contradict itself? Why is belief in miracles going up if overall belief in religion is going down? Phil says we shouldn\u2019t worry about scientists trying to resurrect woolly mammoths. Christian explains why she\u2019s in the Netherlands. And police in the UK issue a warning about kids buying beans.
