The Religion of Whiteness, Christian Nationalism, and the Cosmic Battle for the Soul of America
Is "whiteness" being worshiped in American churches? Sociologist Michael Emerson joins this episode to break down the "religion of whiteness," which he defines as a system that sacralizes white Western norms. Emerson examines how this phenomenon fuels Christian nationalism and public policy debates both in Texas and across the globe. The conversation concludes with a hopeful call for faith communities to dismantle these racialized structures by returning to original biblical narratives and fostering inclusive social movements.
