As we transfer nearer to the 2024 U.S. presidential election, The Revealer is paying particular consideration to the rise of Christian nationalism and the numerous methods conservative faith and politics are intermingling. To that finish, we devoted a three-episode sequence in our month-to-month podcast to exploring numerous elements of conservative faith and politics in the USA:
Sequence episode 1: Ex-Evangelicals and U.S. Politics
NPR’s political correspondent and creator of The Exvangelicals: Loving, Residing, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church, Sarah McCammon joins us to debate ex-evangelicals’ insights into why so many evangelicals are primed to just accept “various info,” why most white evangelicals stay loyal to Trump, and what all of this portends concerning the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
Sequence episode 2: Modern Christian Music’s Political and Spiritual Messages
Leah Payne, creator of God Gave Rock and Roll to You: A Historical past of Modern Christian Music, joins us to debate the racial, non secular, and nationalistic concepts this music promotes, and what it reveals about what conservative Protestants envision for the USA and what they need within the 2024 election.
Sequence episode 3: LGBTQ Republicans
Neil Younger, creator of Coming Out Republican: A Historical past of the Homosexual Proper, joins us to debate how homosexual Republicans responded to the rise of the anti-queer non secular proper within the GOP, how they labored to persuade church-going Individuals that it’s okay to be homosexual, how they’re responding to the present barrage of anti-trans laws, and what they need for America as we head into the 2024 election.
