History of Christian Nationalism Christian Nationalism Ascendant—A Rabbi Offers a Deep Dive On Its History and Our Concerns

Rabbi Jeffrey Falick of the Congregation for Humanistic Judaism of Metro Detroit (https://www.chj-detroit.org/) delivers a deeply researched and damning history of a movement that seeks religious theocracy in America, and is succeeding in many terrifying ways. Beyond the general concern for all religious minorities and non-religious people, he also explains how anti-Semitism is very much at the root of the movement, despite cynical uses of the phrase “Judeo-Christian.” If you’re just beginning to hear and understand the phrase “Christian Nationalism,” this is an excellent introduction to get a fuller understanding of the misinformation and threat to U.S. democracy it poses.
