Episode Details

Peter Lugten explores the origins and absurdity of the Religious Right's "culture wars." He traces the rise of Christian nationalism, including the impact of movements like Dominionism, which seeks to impose a Christian theocracy, and critiques the theological misinterpretations that fuel such efforts, arguing that the Bible does not support the politicization of religion or the attempt to create a Kingdom of God on Earth.
