Christian nationalism is more than faith combined with patriotism. It’s a movement designed to impose one vision of Christianity on all others—a religious mission of conquest and domination. As the 2024 elections approach, the dangers of this movement are becoming more apparent.
Join us on **Thursday, May 16**, at **7:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. MT)** for a free ***Skeptical Inquirer Presents*** livestream with **Dr. Bradley Onishi**. While it’s long been a presence in American culture, the past decade has seen an acceleration of White Christian nationalist rhetoric and tactics. It is now an openly authoritarian movement whose leaders long for a post-constitutional America and a non-democratic form of governance. Dr. Onishi will explain the historical contours of White Christian nationalism—and the threat it poses to American democracy.
**Dr. Bradley Onishi** is the author of *Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism – And What Comes Next*. He is the cohost of the *Straight White American Jesus* podcast, which ranks regularly in the top 50 on Apple’s Politics charts ahead of shows from the *New York Times*, NPR, and MSNBC. A TedX speaker and frequent commentator on television, radio, and podcasts, he is the author or editor of four previous books. Onishi teaches at the University of San Francisco.
