Anyone who has read about the history of various races, ethnicities and countries knows that there has never been a religious group in charge of government who has not hated and committed violence against another group of people because of their religion, race, politics, gender or other trait. Religion is used as an excuse to hate and commit violence because their "god" promotes it. I support religious freedom but I condemn religious hatred.

George and Todd, great post, and as the president/founder of PRRI (and an reader of Big Picture!), grateful to see the inclusion of the recent PRRI/Brookings Christian Nationalism survey in the post today. This movement is a serious threat to American democracy. Thank you for amplifying.

For anyone interested in a deeper dive, I teamed up with Kristin Du Mez and Jemar Tisby (who were on the panel at Brookings for the survey release) for a unique virtual roundtable on our respective substacks. You can check it out here: https://robertpjones.substack.com/p/a-virtual-roundtable-on-the-threat-c2b.
