#180 - Reddit Atheist Reacts to Christian Nationalism! · Brandon Fogal Evolution

• 0:00
  Worlds are colliding. So did you know that Christian nationalism is on the rise?
• 0:05
  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
• 0:07
  Well, we're going to see from a Reddit atheist his perspective.
• 0:12
  Yeah, if you had told me that, again, the guy with a bunch of tattoos from the
• 0:17
  Crusades would be doing this, I would immediately believe it. Yep.
• 0:22
  And before people start calling him the Antichrist, you oppress enough people,
• 0:25
  don't expect a counter swing.
• 0:26
  I think that a lot of people view, and this is the reason why I think that it's happening.
• 0:30
  I think that it's happening primarily because they see encroaching religions,
• 0:35
  primarily Islam, taking hold in European countries. And I think that Americans
• 0:40
  are looking to inoculate themselves from that happening in America.
• 0:43
  And the way that they see that working is by taking on Christian nationalism
• 0:49
  as an oppositional perspective to Muslim nationalism or Islamic nationalism.
• 0:54
  And I think that's definitely what's happening here. And so these are people
• 0:59
  primarily who I don't know if all of them necessarily believe everything in the Bible.
• 1:03
  But what I think that they do believe is that they want to be told what to do
• 1:08
  based off of the Bible and not the Koran.
• 1:10
  And I think that whenever you look at the way that the demographics have changed and.
• 1:15
  OK, so right there, would you rather live under a theocratic rule of Islam or Christianity?
• 1:22
  And do we have to choose? Is it one one way or the other?
• 1:26
  So this Reddit user, I don't even, I don't know his name. I do watch him every now and then.
• 1:30
  I think it produces a lot of good content, but him, he is striking back about
• 1:35
  and implying this narrative that Christian nationalism is on the rise and it's
• 1:41
  being like headed by Pete Hegseth,
• 1:44
  who has a high position in the Trump administration.
• 1:48
  Where this goes is very interesting, but it doesn't even have to do with the
• 1:52
  fact that whether Christianity is true or Islam is true, I would fully guarantee
• 1:58
  to you, if you are listening to this, Christianity is true.
• 2:01
  But the person that is a Reddit user, not a Reddit user, but an atheist person
• 2:06
  like this, that talking head on Reddit, it's going to be fundamentally tougher
• 2:11
  for him to accept the Christian position.
• 2:14
  And he just sees it's scary with people that have a high position and wanting
• 2:20
  to impose religion on them and Christian religion nonetheless.
• 2:24
  Where this goes, it's very interesting for all and we should be ready.
• 2:29
  I don't think, I think people just hijack a lot of things. They hijack religion and they use it.
• 2:35
  But Christianity is true nonetheless. But if people want to take it in a bad
• 2:39
  direction, I'm not sure if they're taking it in a bad direction,
• 2:41
  but with Hexeth and what they're saying, but it's what people vote for.
• 2:45
  You get what you vote for. so we'll leave it at that follow me on x and instagram
• 2:50
  at brandonfogle have a great day peace everyone.
