The Power Worshippers: Exploring Religious Nationalism (with Katherine Stewart)

This week's guest is Katherine Stewart, author of the book The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism.

 

Katherine has devoted the last ten years of her life to uncovering, and telling the story publicly, of the many and varied ways in which the Religious Right and other Christian nationalist groups have infiltrated American society, from education to the top levels of politics.

 

Should you be concerned about this movement? According to Katherine, religious nationalists don't want merely to establish a religion--they are about grasping7 political power. In their aim to establish a theocracy in America, the rights of many have already been trampled underfoot, with more on the way--if they achieve their agenda.
