‘Truth and honest inquiry’ should guide our country, not religion. So stated Founding Father James Madison.
Christian nationalists believe we created America on the myth that we are to be led by a demagogue who promotes a religious interpretation of education, science and intellectualism.
The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is among them. Christian nationalists idealize leaders who exude confidence, who convey that they know what’s right and true and how to solve problems. People who don’t share their worldview must be evil, and so must be silenced and defeated. They resist pluralist society and oppose any ‘sexual deviance’.
