About
The United States was founded on a separation between church and state, but don’t tell that to the practitioners of American Evangelicalism. Through the investigatory lens of a former evangelist, learn the sordid history of how the religious right has spent decades in their mission to overhaul democracy in their own image, from the true origins of the pro-life movement to the continued belief in white supremacy.
