r. Andrew Whitehead (author of American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel & Threatens the Church and Taking America Back for God) is America's leading expert on Christian nationalism--so we couldn't think of a better guest to help us put the wildness of this election in a broader context! Andrew and Jonathan explore the complex intersections of Christian nationalism, race, and politics in the current American landscape, the threats posed by authoritarianism, and the potential for changing minds through empathy and storytelling. They also discuss how Christian nationalism predisposes individuals to support dictatorial leaders. This is an absolutely critical conversation to help keep us sane in the days ahead!

In this episode we're joined by Professor Sam Perry, who is Sam K. Viersen Presidential Professor at the University of Oklahoma is the Department of Sociology and the author of several books, including two on the topic of Christian Nationalism, Taking America Back for God (with Andrew Whitehead, published by Oxford University Press), and The Flag and the Cross (with Philip Gorski, published by Oxford University Press). In this episode, Professor Perry talks about Christian Nationalism as an Ideology, identity, and political strategy. He also distinguishes between patriotism (which is about stewardship) and nationalism (which is about exclusion and rivalry). The conversation talks about some recent trends with Christian Nationalism that has developed since Prof. Perry's books on the topic have appeared. While being informative, Prof. Perry also offers some practical advice for the road ahead after the elections are over.

The word “fascist” has fully penetrated the presidential race. We just learned that a top general under President Donald Trump described Trump as “fascist to the core.” Trump has been threatening to unleash the military on the enemy within, which numerous observers describe as fascist politics. And at a Fox News event on Wednesday, Trump uncorked an unhinged, rambling response to all this, insisting that the real fascists are Democrats. We talked to David Austin Walsh, a historian and author of Taking America Back, who explains how the American right has overlapped with fascist movements throughout our history—and what that says about our MAGA moment.

Trump 2024: Taking America Back

As DePauw's historic Mendenhall lecture comes from within the Christian tradition, we believe this is a crucial time for faith communities to reflect critically about how theology shapes the way we actually live in the world. This one-night symposium will explore the phenomenon of Christian nationalism, particularly in American history and culture. Some of the questions we will consider include: How is Christian nationalism defined and invoked in our public discourse? What is the role of Christian nationalism in public life and polity right now (deep into an election year)? Is Christian nationalism primarily a theological identity, or a political one? How does Christian nationalism challenge the ideal of pluralistic democracy? How are people drawn to Christian nationalism, and how do those who are not talk across the divide? How do questions of race and ethnicity factor into the conversation? Andre Henry is an award-winning singer-songwriter, the bestselling author of All the White Friends I Couldn't Keep, a trusted global voice on nonviolent struggle for social progress, a creative truthteller, and a “tomorrow-maker.” Brian Zahnd is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri; and the author of eleven books, including Sinners In the Hands of a Loving God, When Everything's on Fire, and The Wood Between the Worlds.

The dangers of Christian nationalism Andrew L. Whitehead's accessible book American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church raises difficult but necessary questions about the influence of Christian nationalism in America. What is Christian nationalism? Why is it dangerous for our faith, our churches, and our country? How can Christians see through Christian nationalism as a false god that twists the good news of Jesus away from his call to “love your neighbor as yourself”? Many Christians have influence, power, and opportunity, but many of us also need to learn more holy ways to utilize power. We need to be wise and wary of the devil's call to fear and the culture's call to violence. God's call is for us to steward our salt and light well personally and in community so that all, and not just some, can flourish.

Welcome to episode ninety-seven of New Creation Conversations. This week's conversation is with Dr. Andrew Whitehead. Andrew is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of the Association of Religion Data Archives at the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at IUPUI (Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis). He is a graduate of Purdue University and got his PhD in sociology from Baylor University. He is one of the foremost scholars of Christian nationalism in the United States. He's written 50+ peer reviewed articles and has been featured across several national outlets including The New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, CNN, The Today Show, The Economist, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian. His first book, Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States (published by Oxford and co-written with Sam Perry), won the 2021 Distinguished Book Award from the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion. We spend our time discussing his most recent book, American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church (Brazos). In the book, Andrew not only describes the history and problems related to Christian nationalism, but he also takes on its three great idolatries: power, fear, and violence.There has been a lot of healthy conversation in the US church on this issue over the last few years, and Andrew's book brings a lot of the issues into a clearer light. The book is timely, especially as we get ready to head into another potentially divisive presidential election season. One of the things I like most about the book is that Andrew doesn't just analyze the problem but gives examples of churches and communities of faith that are working for the good of our world without being absorbed into its idolatries. It's an important book and a rich conversation. 

WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO THE DISOBEDIENT FIVE-FOLD:Many of you think you know which way to go without considering what I have told the TRUE PROPHETS in the NEW WINE!   Because many of you are inclined to do “your own thing” without considering the divine place I would like to place you.  With your false declarations/false decrees  you have made up your minds about what you are going to tell Me without considering that ITS MY WORD that comes to pass, not the one speaking making themselves out to be an ass (just like BALAAM),  where he thought he would speak for Me without getting free himself from his foolish needs to BE: 1) BE like me- which is what Satan said when he thought he would ascend and try to take the throne from the one in command.  DID YOU REALLY THINK I DID NOT HEAR- as I have drawn near to all of mankind looking to see who might be inclined to get cleaned up so they might come inside?  To dwell near Me- MY TRUE BRIDE! To that I would have to say you thought this was Burger King, that you could drive through without getting cleaned- to grab your meal of manna, or fake kings decree- well, welcome to REALITY- TRUE KINGDOM IS NOT BURGER KING- where you get it “YOUR WAY” – because starting in 2023- STRICT spiritual laws have begun to reset time to where ONLY THOSE seriously wanting to come inside- they didn't want a burger- or fake meat, (FAKE MANNA) to help them just “Get by.”  THEY TRULY WANTED TO KNOW THE TRUE KING- and what I had to say about a thing!  SO they could come forward into destiny and kingdom! And by the way, all you DISOBEDIENT FIVE FOLD (whether occult, or those who oppose Me) constantly sticking their nose into things they know not of- they have little facts, where they lack the truth about things, so they go on mans ideas, THOSE DISOBEDIENT hearts telling them, playing victim, when that heart is really a perpetrator that God has judged.  That heart has  been demoted, SO MY TRUTH HAS GONE FORTH.  Through 1, 2, 3, 4 TRUTH PROPHETS YOU SAY……How many more confirmations you do you, because up until this point NONE OF YOUR WORDS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO SUCCEED.  So as you enter the 11 o'clock hour, I NOW WARN YOU AGAIN!REPENT REPENT REPENT – you disobedient hearts – get cleaned up so you can come in! OR GET JUDGED for refusing to obey the King!  You can be angry with Me all you want Saul….but the day you acknowledge your own disobedience will be the day you quit being led astray. Support the show

In this episode, Andrew Whitehead and I have a conversation around Christian Nationalism. What is it? What is not not? As we deal with the idols of power, of fear, and of violence, we can root out self interest and the temptation to make it all about one group over the other. Then we can deal with these issues and disciple others to a better way: A way that looks like Jesus, that lifts up the marginalized and helps create flourishing for all people. Join us as we wrestle with fear, power, violence and Christian Nationalism.

Andrew is Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of the Association of Religion Data Archives (theARDA.com) at the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture at IUPUI, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Here'sAndrew's SubstackHis first book in 2020, Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States, with Samuel Perry, was a data-heavy sociological book that was, in their words, "the first comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States."Andrew's new book, American Idolatry, is a more personal look at Christian nationalism. It's still written with the rigor of an academic, but it conveys Andrew's personal convictions about what the Christian faith teaches and asks of its adherents, and how Christian nationalism "betrays the gospel and threatens the church."Andrew is a Christian who writes of his upbringing in small-town conservative America, going to church every week. And he says that when he learned the history of Emperor Constantine, he wondered "was it God's plan all along to win over the most powerful person in the world at that time to ... help Christianity flourish?" And he also wondered, "Why didn't Jesus use this same tactic and embrace imperial power?"See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 76: Pamela Cooper-White, part twoLike a football game, or a basketball game, we're trying to outline our podcast into four quarter. After checking in with each other, we begin by continuing our conversation from the last episode regarding Christian Nationalism. There are numerous resources mentioned in this conversation, especially scholars who are producing new research on Christian nationalism. Notably, these scholars represent the fields of politics, history, and social science. There is information below abut how to follow them. Also, some key quotes from some of their amazing work. In the second and third quarters, we hear the second half of Craig's conversation with Dr. Pamela Cooper-White. By the time we get to the fourth quarter, the hot topics have cooled and we do our muddled review of the Super Bowl.

Christian nationalism is, “a totality of national action, consisting of civil laws and social customs, conducted by a Christian nation as a Christian nation, in order to procure for itself both earthly and heavenly good in Christ.” For example: Wolfe says a mark of nationalism is that “each people group has a right to be for itself” (118), and that “no nation (properly conceived) is composed of two or more ethnicities” (135), and that our “instinct to conduct everyday life among similar people is natural, and being natural, it is for your good” (142), and that “to exclude an out-group is to recognize a universal good for man” (145), and that “spiritual unity is inadequate for formal ecclesial unity” (200), and that “the most suitable condition for a group of people to successfully pursue the complete good is one of cultural similarity” (201).Whitehead and Perry: speak of CN as “Christianity co-opted in the service of ethno-national power and separation” and “Christian nationalism is a cultural framework–a collection of myths, traditions, symbols, narratives, and value systems–that idealizes and advocates a fusion of Christianity with American civil life”” (Taking America Back for God)Key categories of types of people: Accommodators and Ambassadors were both characterized as being “supportive” of “Christian nationalism” while Resisters and Rejecters “opposed” Christian nationalism.Also see the latest research from PRRI https://www.prri.org/research/a-christian-nation-understanding-the-threat-of-christian-nationalism-to-american-democracy-and-culture/ Kathleen Belew, Bring the War Home, “White power should be recognized as something broader than the Klan, encompassing a wider range of ideologies and operating simultaneously in public and underground. Such an understanding is vital lest we erroneously equate white power with covert violence and thereby ignore its significant inroads into mainstream society, which hardly came under cover of night.” Code words: Mating calls, Dog Whistles, Triggers (Samuel Perry)Music played in this episode is from Thrice, A Better Bridge, and Jackie DeShannon, What the World Needs Now

The ideology behind the anti-CRT crusade is white Christian Nationalism. More concerned with power than piety, the culture wars than Christ—what are the signs of white Christian Nationalism? How can you detect it and what can you do about it? Andrew Whitehead is a sociologist and Director of the Association of Religion Data Archives. He is also the co-author of Taking America Back for God. In this episode he explains the link between the anti-CRT crusade and the dangerous ideology of Christian Nationalism.

While I continue to work on my manuscript, here is another archival episode for you. This is from my series, Powers & Principalities. Season 1 was published in 2020 and focused on Christian nationalism, which remains painfully relevant.  This episode features a conversation with Sam Perry and Andrew Whitehead, co-authors of the book Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States [affiliate link].  While I personally think Christian nationalism is very hard to fully extricate from the traditions it inhabits and expresses itself in, I also think the terminology Perry & Whitehead use in their book, Ambassadors, Accommodators, Resisters, and Rejectors is very useful. Of course, this conversation took place before the Jan 6 insurrection, where Christian nationalism was on full display, and before the slate of legislative decisions this summer, most notably the downfall of Roe, that are considered victories for by Christian nationalists. Meanwhile, the term “Christian nationalist” itself has since entered into the lexicon of conservative politicians and pundits as a point of pride. I wrote about this recently for RNS. Perry & Whitehead have been busy since this book was published, as people across the country try . Perry co-authored another book, The Flag & The Cross [affiliate link], with Phillip Gorski, and Whitehead was recently a part of Jemar Tisby's series “Those Meddling Kids: Unmasking the Anti-CRT Crusade in Christian Nationalism.” I'll be recording new episodes in the coming weeks, so hang tight.

"Most Americans were shocked by the violence they witnessed at the nation's Capital on January 6th, 2021," as the description of Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry's new book, The Flag and the Cross, notes. "And many were bewildered by the images displayed by the insurrectionists: a wooden cross and wooden gallows; "Jesus saves" and "Don't Tread on Me;" Christian flags and Confederate Flags; even a prayer in Jesus' name after storming the Senate chamber. Where some saw a confusing jumble," though, Gorski and Perry "saw a familiar ideology: white Christian nationalism." In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Gorski and Perry about their book, the white identity politics of Christian nationalism, and the deep political roots of today's reactionary Christian right. Philip S. Gorski, Professor of Sociology at Yale University, is a comparative and historical sociologist who writes on religion and politics in early modern and modern Europe and North America. He is the author of numerous books, including American Babylon: Christianity and Democracy Before and After Trump and American Covenant: A History of Civil Religion from the Puritans to the Present. Samuel L. Perry, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Oklahoma, is a sociologist of American religion, race, politics, sexuality, and families. He has authored and co-authored numerous books, including Growing God's Family, Addicted to Lust, and Taking America Back for God.

How is witchcraft hitting us?I think that many intercessors are now entering into learning about the courts of Heaven.  And if you know anything about the courts you have to know the WORD OF GOD!  THE LAW- God's laws in what HE says is right. If you don't know the word you wont fair well because you won't know how to fight and you can only fight effectively if you know what God says about a thing. Because its what God says and NOT WHAT YOU SAY that matters.  Because we are entering into a season where God is having HIS SAY about MANY matters in all 7 mountains. 2) If you know the word of God then you also have to know that the enemy has laws/motions/orders/pleadings, edicts, decrees that he uses to fight us with through the occult members (witches/Satanist, Balaam's Prophets, Jezebel/ its Eunuchs, & fake Christians).  The enemy/the occult/ and all these others use the BIBLE/ the HEBREW TORAH because the word of God is ALIVE because God is the word, then they combine Gods' law and pervert it by using it with Laws of MAGIC.  Systems of magic  consist of magical laws/rules/spells, written in Grimoire books/spellbooks,  or through words of magic pulled out of witchcraft books (known/unknown) to be (layered, structured, written, spoken, frontwards, backwards) within spells, cursings, etc.  Against Christians. AND they misuse the WHEEL OF TIME (if they can place witchcraft marks on it, like they do the tree of Life, and why does this matter?    Because if you aren't tracking with God then you can get easily duped and not even know that witches in your region has messed with your PERSONAL TIME.  And the past 3 weeks they have been messing with our time, by getting us distracted, losing time, getting off on ventures we weren't' called to get us off of God's path! And you can only block this in the Courts of Heaven!~ AND they are trying to get AMERICA OFF OF GODS TIME TABLE.  The laws of magic, however, BEND the rules, as there are MAJOR laws, sublaws, there are demonic rules, LIMITATIONS, PATTERNS, edicts/ decrees, motions/ orders/ pleadings, along with various spells, various types of magic that they use, ELEMENTS, witchcraft tools, oils, herbs, foods, connected to EVIL alters, Evil matrixes (which hold spells)- and are interchangeable, which are connected to numbers, or applications of engineering, physics, economics, statistics, as well as various branches of mathematics. What does that mean to Christians?  Its means that the devil has created MATRIXES ON ALL 7 mountains through technology with spells attached to where every time we get on our Iphones/cell phones computer, there is no telling how many spells our eye gates, mind gates, ear gates, touch gates come across which is probably why so many are addicted to them.  AND MATRIXES HOLD LAWS because of the mathematics they are developed through like: Certain sets of matrices form algebraic systems in which many of the ordinary laws of arithmetic (e.g., the associative and distributive laws) are valid but in which other laws (e.g., the commutative law) are not valid.  These laws can be used with Magical laws, Universal, Hermeneutical,   Scientific laws , Spiritual laws (Kabaylan, Biblical, Hebrew) to lock things into place and the world has no idea how this has been done! And there are ELEMENTS that are connected to mathematical equations as there are ELEMENTS in Witcchraft which can be used within equations, within their spells, for example:  If A + B is the subset of C what does C equal?  This is how quantum physics got introduced into the equation of iSupport the show

A new MP3 sermon from Generations Radio is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Not "Taking America Back" - Regrets from "The Joshua Generation" Speaker: Kevin Swanson Broadcaster: Generations Radio Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 11/12/2021 Length: 37 min.

Regrets, second thoughts, and a distinct cooling effect are defining some of the Joshua Generation - the first cadre of homeschool graduates. The ra-ra, do-hard-things, take-America-back revolution seems to have fizzled out a bit for Alex Harris and World Magazine, not to mention brother Joshua Harris.--This introduces an interesting discussion on puritanism and separatism, taking America back, pessimistic eschatology, salt and light, and the distinct desalination of evangelicalism today.---This program includes---1.

BOND Archive Sunday Service, July 8, 2012: Jesse Lee Peterson follows-up on last week's discussion about gossip. Some people still engaged in gossip, even after the warning to be aware the prior week! Others weren't sure. One way to know: Tell the person, "I'm going to tell the person what you said about them!" And see how the gossiper reacts. Jesse spoke at an event recently — at a Tea Party rally near Fresno, California. The people there told him that he can tell the truth about black Americans, because he's black. But they don't like hearing the truth from Jesse either! You have a responsibility to love your fellow man enough to tell them the truth, and not be afraid. We then discuss the attitude of a black comedian Chris Rock who tweeted that the Fourth of July was Independence Day for white people. He said the slaves weren't free, but hopefully they enjoyed the fireworks. We should not support such people who hate America. Many black Americans agree, because of their hatred and anger, and the media encourage and enable the spread of this evil. Another black liberal named Melissa Harris-Perry on MSNBC also said something crazy — just a nasty person. We can win against these liars. One man asks how to get over anger for the truth about oneself. He can hear the truth about others all day, but when confronted about his own failure, he trips out. He has a conversation about it in his head a lot; but it's God who helps you to overcome anger. Jesse finally has a man read a Bible passage Psalm 91 and speaks on it.

Why do so many conservative Christians continue to support Donald Trump despite his many overt moral failings? Why do many Americans advocate so vehemently for xenophobic policies, such as a border wall with Mexico? Why do many Americans seem so unwilling to acknowledge the injustices that ethnic and racial minorities experience in the United States? Why do a sizeable proportion of Americans continue to oppose women's equality in the workplace and in the home? Andrew Whitehead and Samuel L. Perry seek to answer these questions in Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States (Oxford University Press, 2020), which explores the phenomenon of "Christian nationalism," the belief that the United States is-and should be-a Christian nation. Christian ideals and symbols have long played an important role in American public life, but Christian nationalism is about far more than whether the phrase "under God" belongs in the pledge of allegiance. At its heart, Christian nationalism demands that we must preserve a particular kind of social order, an order in which everyone--Christians and non-Christians, native-born and immigrants, whites and minorities, men and women recognizes their "proper" place in society. The first comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States, Taking America Back for God illustrates the influence of Christian nationalism on today's most contentious social and political issues. Drawing on multiple sources of national survey data as well as in-depth interviews, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry document how Christian nationalism shapes what Americans think about who they are as a people, what their future should look like, and how they should get there. Americans' stance toward Christian nationalism provides powerful insight into what they think about immigration, Islam, gun control, police shootings, atheists, gender roles, and many other political issues-very much including who they want in the White House. Taking America Back for God is a guide to one of the most important-and least understood-forces shaping American politics. Andrew Whitehead is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Clemson University and Assistant Director of the Association of Religion Data Archives.

Christian ideals and symbols have long played an important role in American public life, but Christian nationalism is about far more than whether the phrase "under God" belongs in the pledge of allegiance. At its heart, Christian nationalism demands that we must preserve a particular kind of social order, an order in which everyone--Christians and non-Christians, native-born and immigrants, whites and minorities, men and women recognizes their "proper" place in society. The first comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States, Taking America Back for God illustrates the influence of Christian nationalism on today's most contentious social and political issues. Drawing on multiple sources of national survey data as well as in-depth interviews, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry document how Christian nationalism shapes what Americans think about who they are as a people, what their future should look like, and how they should get there. Americans' stance toward Christian nationalism provides powerful insight into what they think about immigration, Islam, gun control, police shootings, atheists, gender roles, and many other political issues-very much including who they want in the White House. Taking America Back for God is a guide to one of the most important-and least understood-forces shaping American politics.

In the 1960s the Left declared they would take a "long march through our institutions" to change America from Within. Now that they occupy the majority in media, culture, academia,, and the government we can see that they've been very successful. If we want to take America back we need to do the same. In this episode I'll tell you where to start and give you 3 places to begin our own "long march."

This special bonus edition features sociologist Andrew Whitehead, co-author along with Sam Perry of the informative book Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States.   As you'll recall, Sam was my guest a few months ago as we discussed the findings of their research of Americans as it relates to Christian nationalism in their book. I reached out to Andrew to have a discussion about not just the upcoming election and the chaos surrounding it, but also the recent news of the possibility of Trump installing an unprecedented third Supreme Court justice before the election.   To what extent is Christian nationalism informing both the folks who intend not only to vote for Trump in November (possibly for the second time), but also their support of Amy Coney Barrett and their hopes for overturning Roe v Wade?   Turns out...it's a huge driver.

Erin Straza and Hannah Anderson invited Sam Perry to Persuasion to share about his research with Andrew Whitehead on Christian nationalism. Their book, Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States, helps us understand the driving factors that define and lead to Christian nationalism in our country. For episode 201 of the For God and Country series, Sam explains how Christian nationalism is a form of political idolatry that we must be aware of and reject.

In this episode of Persuasion, Erin Straza and Hannah Anderson dig into the For God and Country series. In this conversation, Erin and Hannah look to the pain points Christians are feeling and use them to unearth the way fear can sway our political leanings. In Christian circles, there has been increasing concern about religious rights and freedoms, as well as rally cries to take our nation back for God. To help us understand the factors feeding these ideas, Hannah speaks with Sam Perry, who has done significant research on Christian nationalism. Together with Andrew Whitehead, Sam authored a book of his findings titled Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States. Sam addresses the growing conflation of Christian faith with nationalism, which at its core is political idolatry. Because we are so accustomed to these messages and stances within the Church, we can become blind to how we've adopted ideals and stances that are contrary to the gospel. Is it truly our mandate to take America back for God? Are Christians under persecution in the United States—or is it just a loss of privilege and status? Should Christians focus on protecting our own rights or is it more important to reach others with the love of God found in Jesus? Listen in for dialogue on questions like these as we learn to think more clearly about the intersection of faith and politics. Then continue the conversation on Twitter @PersuasionCAPC or in the CAPC members-only community on Facebook.

Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States Samuel L. Perry (Co-Author) Interview Why do so many conservative Christians continue to support Donald Trump despite his many overt moral failings? Why do many Americans advocate so vehemently for xenophobic policies, such as a border wall with Mexico? Why do many Americans seem so unwilling to acknowledge the injustices that ethnic and racial minorities experience in the United States? Why do a sizeable proportion of Americans continue to oppose women's equality in the workplace and in the home? To answer these questions, Taking America Back for God points to the phenomenon of "Christian nationalism," the belief that the United States is-and should be-a Christian nation. Christian ideals and symbols have long played an important role in American public life, but Christian nationalism is about far more than whether the phrase "under God" belongs in the pledge of allegiance. At its heart, Christian nationalism demands that we must preserve a particular kind of social order, an order in which everyone--Christians and non-Christians, native-born and immigrants, whites and minorities, men and women recognizes their "proper" place in society. The first comprehensive empirical analysis of Christian nationalism in the United States, Taking America Back for God illustrates the influence of Christian nationalism on today's most contentious social and political issues. Drawing on multiple sources of national survey data as well as in-depth interviews, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry document how Christian nationalism shapes what Americans think about who they are as a people, what their future should look like, and how they should get there. Americans' stance toward Christian nationalism provides powerful insight into what they think about immigration, Islam, gun control, police shootings, atheists, gender roles, and many other political issues-very much including who they want in the White House. Taking America Back for God is a guide to one of the most important-and least understood-forces shaping American politics. Bio: Samuel Perry is an associate professor of sociology and religious studies at the University of Oklahoma. A former minister and a graduate of the University of Chicago, Sam is the author of over 80 peer-reviewed articles and 3 books including his most recent book Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States, which he co-authored with Andrew Whitehead.

The current presidential administration has linked federal violence against largely peaceful protests in the name of law, order, and defending God. E.g., deploying tear gas for a Bible-holding photo opp. Does the melding of Christianity with the Nation produce violence and war? What's the relation between Christian Nationalism and fascism? Miroslav Volf asks sociologists Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry.Click here to listen to the full episode on Christian Nationalism in the United States.Books mentioned in this interview:Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry, Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United StatesDavid Martin, Does Christianity Cause War?Jason Stanley, How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them

For our Fourth of July episode, Miroslav Volf interviews Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry, sociologists and authors of Taking America Back For God: Christian Nationalism in the United States. What is Christian Nationalism? Why does it matter? How powerful is it in American life? Who counts as a Christian Nationalist? They discuss the tendency of Christian Nationalism to use Christianity as a tribal identity marker or tool for power, rather than an authentic sign of faith or commitment to a the way of Jesus or the practice of his teaching. They discuss Christian Nationalism in racial perspective, comparing African-American and white conservative approaches to Christianity and the Nation. And the conversation draws out important implications for the meaning of the separation of church and state, and the viability of a robust public faith in American life.Guests: Andrew Whitehead (Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis) and Samuel Perry (University of Oklahoma)Taking America Back For God: Christian Nationalism in the United StatesFrederick Douglass' 1852 speech ”What to the Slave is the 4th of July?”: Full Text / Douglass descendants read—"To the slave, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour."Miroslav Volf, Flourishing: Why We Need Religion in a Globalized World—"When world religions are publicly engaged, they threaten to exclude all competitors; when they are pushed into privacy, they themselves are objects of exclusion.” So, he says, "We need an alternative that fits both the character of world religions and avoids the exclusion and marginalization either of some or of all adherents of world religions. It must be a position that secures conditions for political stability and social cooperation of persons and groups whose disagreements about conceptions of the good are irreducible." 

On this emergency episode, Brad asks religion scholars to weigh in on Trump’s violent Bible photo op. He speaks with first with Dr. Richard Newton, Assistant Professor of Religon at the University of Alabama. They discuss how Christianity often offers a validation to racism and what he means by the term negrophobia. Christian nationalism is a prominent theme on Straight White American Jesus. Brad discusses how it played into Trump’s photo op with Samuel Perry and Andrew Whitehead, authors of "Taking America Back for God," a new and important text on Christian nationalism in contemporary USA. Using Christian nationalism as a lens helps clarify why Trump’s base is also populated by a good number of white Catholics. Brad discusses this with Matthew J. Cressler, Asst. Professor of Religion at the College of Charleston. They discuss his work on white Catholicism as a vehicle for segregation in the USA, and the work of black catholics who are working to dismantle the structures of racism in the church. Brad turns next to Dr. Matt Recla, Associate Director of the University Foundations program at Boise State, to get a view of Trump’s weaponization of the Bible from the eyes of a scholar of the Roman empire. Dr. Recla explains the ways Christians and politicians have done the same throughout the last 1700 years. Finally Brad asks his Skidmore college, Dr. Lucia Hulsether, author of the forthcoming book Capitalist Humanitarianism, to help him understand the term racialized capitalism. He finishes the episode with insight from his former colleague Dr. Charles McKinney Jr, professor of Africana studies at Rhodes College, who relays a lesson in how white people often view racist acts and how to begin doing anti-racist work.

On this episode of Impolite Conversation, we invited Andrew Whitehead, co-author of Taking America Back for God, back on the show to explain to us how Christian nationalism complicates life in a pandemic. Then we chatted about the new FX documentary AKA Jane Roe. And in One Last Thing, Dan is glad he gave a show another chance, and Tim has branched out into a new form of comfort viewing. Some of the things we talked about on this show: Dan mentioned Bruce Lincoln's book Holy Terrors. Andrew talked about this sign from an anti-closure rally. He also mentioned two books, Thy Kingdom Come by Randall Balmer and The Power Worshippers by Katherine Stewart. Here is the story of Nino Vitale, who refuses to wear a mask because he believes his face is made in the image of God. And here is some polling information regarding evangelicals, and regarding COVID. Finally, here is some background about Operation Rescue. Dan's OLT was season 2 of Titans. Tim's OLT was Gourmet Makes from Bon Appetit. He recommends starting with the Pop-Tarts episode. 0:00-1:01: Introduction 1:05-21:50: Whitehead interview 21:54-38:20: AKA Jane Roe discussion 38:24-40:58: Dan's OLT 40:58-43:42: Tim's OLT 43:42-44:44: Credits

This week's guest is sociologist and author Sam Perry, who co-wrote the book together with Dr Andrew Whitehead Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States. What makes their book on Christian nationalism different? The authors take a sociological approach to the subject, distilling data from nationwide surveys on religion, to uncover the motives and inspiration behind Christian nationalism. Along the way, they discovered some fairly disturbing trends about what's going on in the intersection of evangelical Christianity and the American political scene today.

Brad talks with Dr. Samuel Perry about Trump's secret weapon: Christian Nationalism. But, Christian Nationalism isn't just theocracy. As they discuss, it's a code word--a dog-whistle--used to signal xenophobia, racism, patriarchy, and so on. The interview focuses on Perry's forthcoming book (co-edited with Andrew Whitehead) called "Taking America Back for God".
