Zombie Religion: Voodoo, Christianity, and the Living Dead with Emily Zarka

"Voodoo" is often used as a pejorative term by Christians for indigenous belief systems, as well as a scapegoat for why bad things happen. It's also connected with Western media's fascination with the figure of the "zombie".

Outside of jokes about less than vibrant faith communities, is there an actual religious history connection between the classic horror monster and religious belief? On this episode Seth welcomes back Dr. Emily Zarka from PBS's Monstrum to discuss the faith of zombies.
