Description

The author of the profoundly disturbing book "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory" explains how evangelicals have been turned into a political tool for the Republican Party. Alberta grew up in the evangelical wing of the Presbyterian Church and watched as they turned their back on him after he criticized Donald Trump. How did the evangelical church turn so far towards right wing politics? What exactly is an evangelical? How can those voters ever be won back?

Al, this is one of your most important podcasts I've listened to lately. Tim is a great communicator, and while I am an atheist, I understand religion. I was raised Catholic, and we went to church every Sunday. I hope this country comes to a point where we can share our government and each follow his/her own path with respect to faith, without all the hatred. You know, for a change!
