Best of: 'How to End Christian Nationalism'
Thursday, 16 April, 2026

Is the separation of church and state in the Constitution? How does Christian nationalism overlap with white supremacy? Why do we keep seeing so many proposals to post the Ten Commandments? In this wide-ranging conversation from 2024, Amanda Tyler talks about these issues and more as she discusses her book "How to End Christian Nationalism" with the Rev. Dr. Bill Leonard. "How to End Christian Nationalism" is a vital companion for countering the dangerous ideology, and it is available from your favorite local bookseller. This conversation was recorded Oct. 29, 2024, and was first released Nov. 7, 2024.
