Weekly Roundup: How 9/11 Accelerated Christian Nationalism

Brad begins by tracing the extreme Christian nationalism of the 2020s to the years following 9/11. The thesis: the ways that Republican politicians and conservative pastors responded to 9/11 led to a new chapter of American Christian nationalism.

Dan then picks up the thread to discuss how Black churches and other groups are teaching Black history in Florida given the fact that it is being left out of school curricula in the state.

The episode finishes with an extended discussion of the lapsed child tax credit – and what it says about our country’s morals and priorities.
