A new battle of faith is being driven by some pastors and politicians in the United States.
Their central message is that the country's conservative Christian way of life is under threat, and American society is moving in the wrong direction.
The BBC’s Barbara Plett Usher explores the impact of this growing movement on US politics.

As a German who has done an exchange year in East Tennessee, I’ve got to say that people there didn’t question things , my host family forced me to go to church with them even tho I wasn’t religious, and every time I looked around the church , people just sat there and believed everything that the pastor told them , one of the things was to vote for trump „because god said so”

@@allandill2033 Have you read the history, native populations were not genocided, they were wiped out becoz they didn't have resistence to new diseases and less than 2000 were shipped as slaves out of the population of nearly six million. So, though techinacally correct, you lack the historical perspective. Conquistadors also brought Christianity, these people offered human sacrifice of entire defeated tribes, they also brought, horse, and education and healthcare, for every fortification built, they also established a mission, some still operate. You wouldn't be able to step in Latin America had not the Conquistadors arrived. And they would have probably be attacking nations and offering you as human sacrifice if Conquistadors. The change you see has not come by itself.it's the Christianity effect.

@@magatism there were many more slaves than only 2000. Plus, the spanish used slaves in South America, so they really didnt have to export them. And that's not including the "encomiendas", where the indigenous people would be put under forced labor as tribute and rewards for the conquest. The rape children of these "encomiendas" were called "mullato's" and became second class citizens for the Spanish. And also not to mention the Asiento de Negros, which gave the Spanish monopolistic control over the African slave trade and ensured slave labor would reign in the region well into the 1800's. That is what actually happened. Didn't they also welcome the Spanish until they imprisoned Montezuma? I'll make sure not to hold their leader hostage so I shouldn't have to worry about them sacrificing me. I'll just also ignore all of the other major tribes that would be in the region and didn't have human sacrifice. 🙄 Read the book: Lies My History Teacher Told Me. You will realize how much bullshit the "Spanish saved the South Americans" really is based on first hand writings.

Your making stuff up besides didnt atheist commies kill much more? And fascists as well who denounce most aspects of religion? I researched about the Islamic conquests the 80m claim lacks proper evidence and is disputed and even the decrease of population by 30m claim from 1000-1500 is also disputed and there are reports that Hindu population did grow under Medieval Muslim rule as India is densely populated like China and has so many people Wars would easily destroy lands combined with droughts as well as Plagues that could contribute to death, US expansion did not lead to 20m deaths thats cap, of the 70 or 90m Natives in both Americas the amount that are in the midwest is, great plains and rocky mountains is low and 90% of all natives were killed by Plagues and those who were actually genocided had been genocided by the Spaniards in numbers lower than 10m. ''islamic terrorism'' did not cause 150,000 deaths, if your talking about ISIS then yes and most deaths were btw of Muslims, Iraq war is correct however its a capitalistic war not a religious one that was started by greedy cooperations, the Armenian genocide was led by the Ottomans true who btw were controlled by the 3 Pashas under the Young Turk rule who are nationalists btw and genocided the Armenians, Greeks and indirectly the Assyrians. Also many Arabs accepted Armenians into their lands as in rescured them hence the huge Armenian communities you see in Syria and lebanon and small ones in Palestine and Armenian-Arab relations back then and now are really good so I doubt its religious. The last one about the catholics not letting people wear condoms leading to deaths is simply not true and its BS, since the Catholic church prohibts sex before marriage and fornication and butt sex as well so technically it decreases it not increase. Congolese genocide by King Leopold II was about rubber and about consolidation and about making the most out of the congo economically, there were literally no religious incentives. The holocaust done by the nazis was in the name of racial purity not religion, the guy Hitler a ''christian'' hated his own religion and said he wish that they were conquered by the muslims a millenia ago to develop a strong warrior like aryan culture even then he wasnt a muslim or a proper christian and he had woodo superstious beliefs in racial purity which are extremly authoritarian but far from religious. the Muslim conquests which saw less than 80m people die with many being armies dying or droughts/plagues spreading at the time of conquests which saw many people die would decrease it to 10-15m people most not in the name of religion hindu or Muslim but as a consequence of war but I will count it. Removing the 30m figure which you blame on catholics thats 30m less so far 100m less, Holocaust not being about religion but authoritarian ''secular'' ideology 6m less, Congo genocide not being about religion but trade and business 13m less, The US expansion in manifest destiny could not have killed 20m its statistically impossible so I will decrease it to 1-2m thats 18-19m less which is a exaggeration but a realistic figure, Iraq war being about consolidation and prompted by weapons arms manufacturers so its in the name of money and US consolidation of power, that removes 500k also about the trans-atlantic slave trade some religious justifications were made but it was mostly about economics, cultural and racial superiority rather than religion so I will remove that as well: so far its 195m - (70m + 30m + 13m + 19m + 6.5m + 500k + 14m) = x x = 37.5m If we were to count it 15m instead of 10m, 2m instead of 1m then its at best 44.5m deaths by ''religion'' even though this was at a course of more than 1000 years now looking at the deaths that the Nazis, Japanese, communists and secular capitalists caused its more than 100m with communism accounting for more than half. So The two conclusions are that its either secular ideologies are worse than religion or that killing is a inherent part of human nature transcending any form of belief or ideology.

Endoctrinatation is different from guilability... One needs to have in mind that in the united states , people are forced from young age to adore flag and national anthem since early school years in a way that only dictatorships do ... And i was raised two doors down the man that topoled the salazar dictatorship in Portugal where during the Dictatorship the ideals forced into the people mid 20th century were exactly the same as in america now where even taking a knee is a scandal where in every other country is a sign of respect..... Guilability we all have ( i have ptsd my own was abused often ) ..... Endoctrinatation though ... Its a much more difficult problem to solve especially in a country where most ppl descendant from migrants now hate migrants while reading from the gore fest which is the King James ( the Genocidal Rapist ) bible which is the only sect of christianity that believes and glorifies the apocalipse of the end-time driving most christian zealots into more extremism than all religious ppl i see in Europe..... And i go evety day to the shop across the road to be served by a afghani man that got all is family killed by war ( and is the most peaceful kind and tolerant person i know ) ....... Endoctrinatation is a real problem and the USA is suffering a lot from it ... I hope americans get some sense soon before worse than January 6th happens ... And lest we forget the Bush family is trying to overthrow Democracy in favour of fascism since the 1930s and Prescott Bush that also planned to storm Washington and thankfully was stopped by Smedley Buttler... America is dealing with 1 century of the elite sponsoring fascist endoctrinatation, not guilability ( But i see from where you are coming from ... Not disagreeing with you ... Just adding up )

That I be allowed to live my life as I believe it is best for me, and for my family. I don't want Christian values forced on me.

Did Allah's Messenger, peace be upon him restrict Islam to mosques and houses? He did not. Secularism only came to be in the Muslim world, when colonialists invaded it! How ironic.

Christianity trough the Catholic Church was founded on violence just like Islam. The first crusaded were launched by a man now called Saint Irenaeus in the between the year 150-200 against other Christians who did not fall under the Catholic church. Part of the dead sea scrolls are remains of those Christians that were killed which historians group as Gnostic Christians because nothing survives of any organization if they had one since they did not believe that a orthodoxy was needed to be Christians, they were peaceful and believed in meditating to escape the hell of our physical bodies. Basically the first major thing the catholic church which is the ancestor of all modern christian goups in the west did was to kill off the peaceful Christians.

What upsets me as a Baptist (Australian) is that many of these people identify as Baptists, yet it was Baptists who spoke most strongly against theocracy in the 17th and 18th centuries, and influenced later though less radical thinkers like Locke. Even in the early 1960s, when I became a Baptist, any links between Church and State, even if it was beneficial to both parties, was treated with suspicion. It is hard to see how things could go so seriously wrong so quickly.

I don't recall this happening in my area, but I will say slowly but surly, religion in general is being viewed with a certain skepticism. Our first pastor was one of the kindest, most knowledgeable and compassionate men I will ever meet. He was well loved, even today many years after his passing. And his replacement was a man who felt we needed to be scared into loving Jesus! He was quite a fear preacher and slowly but surly saw his congregation decline. What's that saying...

It is so strange for me to see that this group of fanatics have completely lost sight of the fact that their country was founded on the principle of freedom - and now want to undermine religious freedom so fundamentally. Not to mention the fact that true Christians would respect and honour every other religion and approach it with open arms. Reminder: love your neighbour as yourself. But then to boast of being "Christian nationalists" and to radically ban other religions from social coexistence, to want to link government and religion so closely together is nothing other than fascism for me.

All of a sudden a whole bunch of people stood up, crying and lifting their hands up and shouting names.... my brother and I looked at each other in bizzareness and started giggling really loud. We thought they were playing but one look from my aunt, we knew this was serious. That made us more laughing so our Mom escorted us out and told us off..... we were not allowed back in. Ever.

@@cstuartdc I think you misunderstood my reply. My family fought for the Irish Republic in 1918 for its independence - for hundreds of years, Ireland was under british occupation ( or colonialization, if you prefer) My ancestors are probably turning in their grave thinking that the independence that was so hard to gain was so easily handed over to a cabal of bureacrats that now control their border. I never once advocated for a king. What is so wrong about wanting a free homeland unfettered by foreign dominion ? Do you want Britain to again control Ireland, India, Jamaica, Hong Kong, Kenya, Sudan, Lesotho, Botswana, Northern Somalia, Egypt, Eastern Ghana, Gambia, Niger, etc ? Remember that the british controlled the slave trade many years ago - you cant say they did it for the benefit of the natives. You seem to argue that an independent country is a bad thing. Even England has its fill of the EU and left the 'loose confederacy' that you love. Funny choice of words you had there - In the US, the word confederacy denotes slavery. It is funny you call that a Trumpian vision - but Merkel controlled the EU with an iron fist for many years.

The recent evangelical movement in the United States has undeniably played a significant role in shaping political landscapes. While it's important to recognize the diversity within this community, some evangelical fundamentalists have indeed been vocal in their influence on policies and political agendas. It's crucial to approach this influence with a nuanced perspective, acknowledging that interpretations of religious texts can vary widely. Critics argue that certain evangelical leaders may selectively emphasize aspects of the Bible that align with their political objectives, potentially leading to a narrow and exclusionary approach to governance. The historical context where political figures like King James may have influenced translations, adds another layer to the complexity of understanding how religious texts are interpreted and applied in contemporary politics. As with any religious or ideological movement, it's essential to engage in open dialogue and promote a diverse range of perspectives to foster a more inclusive and informed political discourse. Balancing religious freedom with the principles of a pluralistic society remains a challenge, and the impact of the evangelical movement on politics continues to be a subject of debate and analysis.

"The United States of America have exhibited, perhaps, the first example of governments erected on the simple principles of nature: and if men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse themselves of artifice, imposture, hypocrisy, and superstition, they will consider this event as an era in their history...It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had any interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the inspiration of heaven, any more than those at work upon ships or houses, or labouring in merchandize or agriculture: it will for ever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses..... Unembarrassed by attachments to noble families, hereditary lines and successions, or any considerations of royal blood, even the pious mystery of holy oil had no more influence than that other of holy water: the people universally were too enlightened to be imposed on by artifice; and their leaders, or more properly followers, were men of too much honour to attempt it. Thirteen governments thus founded on the natural authority of the people alone, without a pretence of miracle or mystery, which are destined to spread over the northern part of that whole quarter of the globe, are a great point gained in favour of the rights of mankind.” ~John Adams, A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America 1787

Well, yes, the Puritans who arrived in America did escape England because of religious intolerance. However, the Puritans' own religious views were also highly intolerant of non-Puritans. They wanted to create a theocracy, a godly society based solely on Puritan ideas, one in which non-Puritans would be second-class citizens. The fact that they didn't get to do that in England is what they considered intolerance and made them leave for America. This is a theme one can still see in the language of the religious right in the US: when the religious don't get to discriminate people according to their faith, they call that persecution.

Federalists battled for strong government as religious nationalists make an onslaught for one religion in America; the original independent nation simply was in shambles when the British left after defeat. Who would govern us? how would we survive without the economy of an empire? How would states unite in the future under a balanced authority? Nationalists must remember that the founders were wary of England's example of religious authority and "church above monarchy" rule within the most powerful empire of the time. And that the individual freedoms of the people are what made America the most liberated, the most represented, and the most civil in that period of history. Civility, liberty, and civic duty were the most empowering qualities of the antiquated American government in post-revolution, reflected in them by the people themselves. How freedoms survive is by the legacy of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the sovereignty of all citizens.

@@brainstem2023 Many stories in the bible lack any historical evidence. The Jews enslaved in Egypt, Noah's Ark, a worldwide flood, the resurrection of a savior, etc, lack evidence. Not only that, but research has revealed that many of the stories in the bible are recycled tales from even older civilizations. One notable example is from the Epic of Gilgamesh, which pre-dates the writing of the bible by nearly 1000 years. It contains a story extremally similar to Noah's Ark and the great flood, only with small details differing here and there from the biblical version. The idea a savior in the form of god's son has also been used in numerous ancient cultures long before Christianity or any other modern segmented religion adapted the tale. It's important to realize that these stories have nothing to do with science. A lack of science is actually what allowed these stories to spread and flourish thousands of years ago.

Back in the 1960s that often included racial discrimination as well as orientation and religion. Today so far it is only orientation and reproductive health. Black churches have historically advocated for anti discrimination laws so that everyone can expect to be treated the same regardless. In this respect I feel that Christian nationalists are fundamentally anti constitutionalists. Where as Black churches have historically been proponents of constitutional rights.

They also haven't read the 2nd amendment and completely ignore the part of their favorite amendment that says, "a _well regulated_ militia..." umm...so ...the 2nd amendment calls for REGULATION. It's clear that the 2nd amendment is talking about the National Guard. These idiot right wingers need to get an education. The 2nd amendment was crafted to give the American people a clear way to fight against these morons. The founders were concerned about coup de tat and formulated the 2nd amendment as a well regulated armed force that could defend the _government_ against idiots like the Oath Keepers. It had nothing whatsoever to do with religion taking over our government. The founders would have been horrified by that idea and about this ignorant group of uneducated fools.

I've been a Christian for 45 years - not only is there not a political party that accurately depicts / represents Jesus or the Gospel, there are few if any churches that do, either. What the word "Christian", or the name "Jesus", actually mean is up for debate. I'm not saying Christians should not run for office or be politically motivated, but let's be very careful about imposing our own ethos onto Jesus.

As someone who is in the school system in America. We are more worried about kids reading at their grade level because most are not reading at their level. Math scores are down, kids are too emotionally unstable, and kids don't need religion they need parents to pay more attention to their actual academics. Who cares if they have the Bible in the schools if they can't read it!

Clearly you’ve never read or obviously understand the Bible.... education is important but It doesn’t keep you from dying, so no , I’m sorry spirituality is more important. The soul and how good of a person someone is, is WAY more important than how smart they are to me, take a look around can’t you see that? I mean you’d have to bury your head in the sand to not see the degradation of society and the home directly linked to the decline of the Bible and faith in our personal lives

“Those who would renegotiate the boundaries between church and state must therefore answer a difficult question: why would we trade a system that has served us so well for one that has served others so poorly?” ― Sandra Day O'Connor (Conservative former US Supreme Court Justice)

@jpsphoto-vision8803 6 місяців тому
It seems that the only boundary they are trying to fix, is one that just became broken over the last 50 years. Before the 70's the bible was in schools, prayer was in schools, and so was the 10 commandments. Basically what they are saying is if we can have satan worship in schools, (pride) then why can't we also have the bible back.

Sandra Day O'Connor was simply defending the Constitutional Civil Right of Freedom of religion. Which is also freedom to have no religion. They are entitled to have their views and consolidate their vote, just like every other voting block. What they are not allowed to do is force others to believe and practice their religion. So defend the Constitution and our Civil Rights regardless if you are in the religious right or the liberal left. Our Civil Rights serve both groups, from the tyranny of both extremes.

I’m a Christian. I’m always amazed when Christians ignore the Bible by trying to make America into Christian Nirvana. It’s been tried by other countries with their religion for centuries. The best example for that that I can think of is Cheri law of the Muslims. America is advanced citizenship. Everyone can worship or not worship as they deem fit. You can only give them the good news of Jesus and live out your convictions in a loving way. You can’t force your faith on anyone.

Everybody votes with their beliefs. The only way to prevent someone from trying to make their beliefs law would be to ban them from being able to enter politics, which is illegal as it would constitute the establishment of a single state-sponsored belief, even if that belief is that there is no God. Atheism is a religion too.
