Christian taliban is more like it.

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" –Sinclair Lewis
-
It wasn’t a “Christian” America. People fled here for freedom of religion. So they could worship as they chose. there is a separation of church and state according to the constitution
-
how is this any different from Saudi Arabia, or Iran, or Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or any other theocracy? America is based on Enlightenment thinking, not stone-age authoritarian thinking.
-
Cult 😳
-
It seems Margaret Atwood wasn't too far off. Reality is more bizarre than fiction. Thanks Kristin. Brilliant woman. She is absolutely spot on the mark with this stuff.
-
Don't believe anything trump says
-
I'm so very grateful that this program and PBS has been covering many of the great threats to US democracy. Keep up the great work.
-
As a secular person, I found this to be very informative. Sadly, we will have to be vigilant and push back on these extreme idiologies, not only now, but years to come.
-
This is conservative social engineering.
-
These people always seem to have a profound problem with the concept of consent.
-
Just the idea that the GOP want to get rid of social security and medicare should have all American's not voting Rep.
-
Great program. MAGA /2025 goes out with a BLUE wave.. VOTE VOTE BLUE
-
Kristin Kobes Du Mez was an excellent guest. Thank you.
-
These "Christians" have enemies? Didn't Jesus say love your enemies? Pharisees may be gone, but there's no shortage of hypocrites.
-
This is not my definition of Christianity. There are excellent reasons to keep Church and State separate for the well being of both
-
Great insight! I feel similarly to Kristin about faith -- I value mine, but don't want it brought into government in that way. Always appreciate Amanpour & Co. videos.

Biblical marriage?? The Old Testament is full of POLYGAMY 🙄
-
The Constitution stipulates separation of Church and State - this came from founding fathers
-
Christian Nationalism has always been around - different names, i.e., Moral Majority, Tea Party, Families First, etc. Their voice has just been lower level until now with MAGA and Trump. Trump is not a politician. He does not care how the country functions, only that it gives him power. He is a typical heavy handed corporate animal, looking for the most from the least. He saw a golden opportunity with the Christian Nationalists to achieve this status and promoted and used them to the extreme degree that we are seeing today. A great degree if power is now in their hands and we should be aware and alert to how our basic tenets and constitution are vulnerable. Even with Trump gone, this faction will still be a threat.
