The “Christian nation” rhetoric and spectacle we’re seeing is not just bad history – it’s having real ramifications for religious freedom for all in our country today. Amanda is back from sabbatical, and she and Holly discuss recent developments, including an increase in anti-Sharia legislation and fear-mongering that goes with it. They fact-check last week’s congressional hearing on the topic and share Amanda’s testimony. Plus, Amanda and Holly discuss the recent “Rededicate 250” event on the National Mall, which elevated common myths tied to Christian nationalism. People can gather to pray, and there have been public worship gatherings before – so, what made that event different?
