Right-wing Christians are pushing state-level policies to erode the separation of Church and State.  See this: https://truthout.org/articles/christian-right-pushes-state-level-policies-to-erode-church-state-separation/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=2367c18a-0851-4224-92a8-971eac76d529

 

In July 2021, the exceptionally well-informed organization Americans United for the Separation of Church and State made available a new curriculum based on their “Democracy and Faith Under Siege” webinar, which they conducted in response to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.  “Christian nationalists” were prominent there, so AU responded effectively with this curriculum that religious congregations and other small discussion groups can use to help them understand the dangers of that ideology. Over the course of three lessons, participants will learn more about the concept of Christian nationalism, its intersection with racism and ways to respond.  You can download the FREE resource by clicking here .
