This session provides an overview of the debates surrounding the relationship between religion and politics in U.S. history, with a focus on the emergence of a movement known as Christian nationalism. While its advocates claim to be restoring faith to American public life, it tends to impose a narrow expression of Christianity that erases the separation of church and state and undermines democracy by marginalizing religious (and non-religious) voices that do not conform.
