Action 206 Coming Up Feb 8
Background: If you have studied Christian Nationalism for years, you would already know it is a threat to democracy and our way of life. (1) It is the philosophical underpinning of Project 2025 (2) and indeed has its origins way, way back (11th-13th century) in the Crusades (3) and the brutal Spanish Inquisition (4). If you thought the Enlightenment had abolished once and for all the backward ideology of Christian Nationalism, you are sadly mistaken. Like a science fiction monster, it is “undead” and actively threatens the freedoms of all civilized Americans (5). As Steven Weinberg famously said, “With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
Action: Be informed. Take this threat seriously. Here’s a meeting to consider attending:
