Although the Religious Right is on a winning streak at the Supreme Court, data shows it\u2019s losing in the court of public opinion. Gallop reports more Americans than ever no longer believe in God, and only a minority of Americans share the political and cultural beliefs of conservative evangelicals. The Holy Post crew responds to a Jesuit priest\u2019s article wondering if overturning Roe was worth the costs, and congresswoman Lauren Boebert says the church should be running the government. But which church does she have in mind? Then Skye talks to mother and daughter, Nancy Beach and Samantha Beach Kiley, about their book \u201cNext Sunday: An Honest Dialogue About the Future of the Church.\u201d Nancy pioneered the seeker-driven megachurch movement at Willow Creek, but also experienced its toxicity and collapse. Her daughter, Samantha, is now a pastor seeking to apply the lessons\u2014both positive and negative\u2014from her megachurch upbringing to a new generation. Plus, the New York Supreme Court makes a jumbo ruling.
