James Talarico speaks from inside the Christian tradition to call out the hypocrisy of Christian nationalism " not by attacking faith, but by actually taking Jesus' words seriously.

When politicians claim they want a "Christian nation" but ignore teachings like loving your enemies, welcoming the stranger, caring for the poor, and refusing religious supremacy, something doesn't add up.

Talarico lays out that contradiction clearly and powerfully, pointing to the radical heart of the Gospel " especially the Good Samaritan and Jesus' challenge to wealth, power, and judgment.

This isn't about tearing Christianity down. It's about asking whether those in power are willing to live up to the faith they claim to represent.
