Many have come to believe that our founders intended for the United States to be a Christian nation. However, the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states that there shall be no establishment of a national religion. A movement called Christian nationalism is advocating that Christian values, symbols and beliefs form the identity of our republic and that idea is being supported by recent laws and court decisions. Join us to learn how this concept is undermining our democratic principles. Speakers:
