freedom.
⚠️ A growing threat:
Leaders increasingly fuse faith with citizenship, using religious language to legitimize political agendas. When religious authority entwines with power, democracy erodes and pluralism fades.

🔎 Why it matters:
Christian nationalism ≠ mainstream Christianity. It pushes the idea that Christian identity should dictate law & policy, marginalising anyone who doesn’t share it. This conflation endangers pluralism & religious freedom.

If you haven’t listened to “Sons of Patriarchy” it’s a deeply disturbing collection of abuse stories from families, schools, marraiges and also includes sexual abuse of adults and minors that is either directly covered up by Wilson and his church or related in some way.
