“Christian nationalism has influenced the course of American politics and policy since the founding of this country, while, in every era, moral movements have had to fight for the Bible and the terrain that goes with it,” Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis recently wrote in The Nation. “The January 6 assault on the Capitol, while only the latest expression of such old battlelines, demonstrated the threat of a modern form of Christian nationalism that has carefully built political power in government, the media, the academy, and the military over the past half-century. Today, the social forces committed to it are growing bolder and increasingly able to win mainstream support.”

In this segment of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc welcomes Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis back on the show to discuss the growing and dangerous influence of Christian nationalism in the US and around the globe—and how to fight it. Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis is co-director of the Kairos Center, as well as a founder and coordinator of the Poverty Initiative. She is national co-director of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call For Moral Revival, and author of Always with Us?: What Jesus Really Said about the Poor. She is also an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and a biblical scholar in New Testament and Christian origins.

  1. These circular crossed idol worshipers and not Christians. But there are ignorant and disassociated Christian following the antichrist in the name of christ . This is not new. The global rise of religious nationalist is fuild by sociopathic self absorbed politicians, taking advantage of people feeling left out of the prosperity.

  2. True Christians are taking back our inheritance 😂😂…
    satan stole our authority, NOW IT'S FULL BLOWN WAR !!!
    those days are gone thinking we gonna stay silent and roll over !!! PERIOD !!!
    satan is the loser, AND JESUS IS THE WINNER 😂 💪✝️🙏

  3. I live in a region that promotes this form of Christianity it is not to be mocked liberals you better wake up and realize the true danger our Republic is currently living through. Reach out to Christians and do not shut them out. Yes, they need to repent but, recall good people can be made to do very evil things be they secular or not secular human nature is highly corruptible. Talk face to face get off the internet it is not how people really think or feel it gives you only those committed to hate not love.

  4. Oh, no! Those mean old Christians! What are they plotting now? I guess I will have to pick up a copy of Rolling Stone and find out.

  5. Most people in America do not understand the power the right wing christians wield. First, there are many black and people of color that follow these people. Second, the right wing christians have a fully formed mechanism to terrorize people who oppose them. The Christian right are pretty much Nazis who have yet to form camps. I fear that by the time the pubic understands what they are doing many will have been hurt and killed.

  6. Sad Democrat propaganda, nothing more here. And you misrepresent completely the conservative evangelical discussion.
    Your Socialist propaganda is an old old tired Oneway discussion, leading to a atomisized depressive society . Happy abortion, happy euthanasia, happy taxing everybody into oblivion

  7. https://youtu.be/s8a4fiqfADU?list=LL one day millions of true Christians will disappear from this world during the Rapture. People don't realize how bad the 7 year tribulation after the Rapture will be. There will be many people who call themselves Christians who will be left behind after the Rapture to face the horrors of the tribulation.

  8. The christian right is the most dangerous force in the world and are no different from the pharisees and they interpret the bible wrongly and are a bunch of hypocrites,racists

  9. We keep holding INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS highlighting culture from all over and respecting the enjoyment of it. And if you have Christians make sure to HIGHLIGHT ATHEISTS. Song, dance music, food food food games for kids, stories, that's all we have to do. But we have to do it everywhere.

  10. What is rising is fascism in the guise of saviors of humanity movements, religious or otherwise. Those sort of ideologies can only attract conservative morons who are too scared to break away from stagnation and tradition.
