Straight White American Jesus

A podcast on religion and politics hosted by Daniel Miller and Bradley Onishi, ex-ministers who are now scholars of religion.

Weekly Roundup: Justice for J6 and Moral Responsibility

Dan and special guest Blake begin by discussing the Babylon Bee, and the anti-censorship bill in Florida. They explore how misinformation is disseminated disguised as free speech.

The second major topic is the planned “Justice for J6” rally planned at the Capitol on September 18. This is, in their view, a ritual enactment of the myth of the Big Lie–a return to the site of violence to commemorate battle heroes and martyrs – the creation of myth in real time. 

They finish by discussing moral responsibility during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nicki Minaj, the recasting of white evangelicalism, and christian identity as political conservatism. Dan leads by asking what will the effect of 2016 be on American Evangelicals?
