Debunking Christian Nationalism w/ Andrew Seidel
Manage episode 413390549 series 2635681
âAs we recognize that humans are human, and worthy of human rights, conservative white america is dying this slow demographic death and rebelling.â
Why is it that the exact arguments used against trans people and DEI were being used in defense of slavery in pre emancipation America? I reached out to Andrew Seidel to discuss this patter because he wrote about and debunked all these arguments in his book The Founding Myth: How Christian Nationalism is Unamerican. (Linked at bookshop.org, not the rainforest oligarch's store.) We talk about how, despite the debunking, authoritarian thinkers keep clinging to biblical literalism to justify withholding human rights.
Andrew works for Americans United, and I strongly recommend you check out their incredible work.
