Katherine Stewart on the rise of religious nationalism (3/19/20)

For decades, the Religious Right has presented itself as a social movement preoccupied with a number of cultural issues, including abortion and same-sex marriage. In her new book “The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism,” Katherine Stewart reveals a disturbing truth: this is a political movement that seeks to gain power and to impose its vision on all of society. Stewart’s extensive reporting has led her to believe that America's religious nationalists aren't just fighting a culture war, they’re waging a political war on the norms and institutions of American democracy. Join us for a conversation with Katherine Stewart on the rise of Christian conservatism as a political force in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
