The Weaponization of American Christianity...PG:CC with Professor Anthea Butler

Published: Jan. 17, 2023, 8 a.m.

b'Author of \\u201cWhite Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America\\u201d Professor Anthea Butler is one of the foremost experts on Christian nationalism. We discuss how evangelical racism, propelled by the benefits of whiteness, is attempting to take over our government and our country. That Christianity is being systematically weaponized in a quest for power and control, and that Christian nationalism, the kind we see in places like Hungary, with its top down control and \\u201ctraditional values\\u201d, is not only on the rise in America but already in positions of the highest power. This conversation is a reminder for all of us, who believe in a true multi-cultural, pluralistic democracy with freedom and justice for ALL, that we must insist on the separation of church and state and recognize that without our efforts, we will end up losing a war we didn\\u2019t even know we were in.\\n\\nGuest social:\\nWhite Evangelical Racism Book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/white-evangelical-racism-the-politics-of-morality-in-america-anthea-butler/15267034?ean=9781469661179\\nTwitter: @AntheaButler\\n\\nPlease RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!\\n\\xa0\\nAll show links here!: https://linktr.ee/politicsgirl\\n\\xa0\\nThank you to today\\u2019s sponsors!\\nwww.lomi.com/politicsgirl Promo Code: PoliticsGirl\\nwww.littlespoon.com Promo Code: PoliticsGirl'
