Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

Many, if not most, religious communities in COVID-19 affected areas are reacting responsibly to the coronavirus and implementing practices to honor social distancing--but we can't discount the effect of far-right propaganda. Katherine Stewart is an investigative journalist, frequent New York Times op-ed contributor, and author of "The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism," and in today's episode she dives into what Religious Nationalism is, how it comes into play with the Trump administration, and how that ultimately affects our country's response to coronavirus (with bits of reproductive justice and voter suppression mixed in--after all, we're talking conservatives here).
