Episode description
We often frame the white Christian nationalism as a problem exclusively of far-right, fundamentalist evangelicalism. What we talk much less about is mainline Protestants and how they have contributed to the rise of Christian nationalism from the 1940s to the present.
I talk with Rev. Dr. Brian Kaylor about the book he co-authored called, Baptizing America: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism.
Among the topics we cover are:
- Defining mainline Protestantism
- Distinguishing between civil religion and Christian Nationalism
- Why capitalize the "N" in Christian Nationalism
- How January 6, 2021 compares with January 6, 2022
- What can or should unite us as a civic body
