Deep divisions in American politics have spawned serious splits in faith communities. Since the 2024 elections, versions of Christian Nationalism have grown in influence, even as surveys indicate an unprecedented dissolution of institutional religion and hint at its transformation. The murder of Charlie Kirk revealed the complex appeal of conservative Evangelicalism to GenZers. Come prepared to explore a fusion of religion and politics 250 years after writers of our Constitution rejected the idea of the union of church and state.
