The rise in “Christian nationalism” has been called a major threat to American democracy and to the value of religious freedom. Christian nationalists believe that America was, is, and should remain a Christian nation.

Scholars and faith leaders come together for a conversation that explores the underpinnings of the Christian nationalist ideology and what it means for the future.
