Episode Synopsis

In this unreleased episode, we dig into how Christianity, as it exists in America today, came to look so little like the teachings of Christ.This is an unfiltered look at how empire, colonialism, and patriarchy have long used religion to justify subjugation and power. We talk about the historical roots of American Christianity, the weaponization of tradition, and how faith morphed into a culture war strategy instead of a communal practice.From Rome to the Reformation to the rise of American evangelicalism, we trace how systems, not scripture—shaped what we now call Christianity. And why that matters.
