Can America Survive Without Christianity?

"What is the role of religion as a political force in this country?

Our guest today, Jonathan Rauch, says: “Christianity is a load-bearing wall of American civic life.” In other words, the success of liberal democracy depends on a healthy Christianity to support it—and if Christianity falters, our American project will falter too. We get into why that is in this conversation.

It’s a fascinating position for a person who happens to be a Jewish, atheist, gay man.

And Jonathan doesn’t just say we need to embrace Christianity; he goes a step further. He says that Christians need to look in the mirror and reconsider how Jesus would approach American politics today." from the video introduction
