172. Wes Dodge on the Co-optation of Religion within Political Discourse

Problems today rarely originate in our present context. Some
problems are so deeply rooted in human history and maybe human
nature that it’s a tall order to try to diagnose, let alone solve
them in an hour on the radio. But we try! Today, attorney and
Common Cause Nebraska advisory board member Wes Dodge is back on
the show to discuss the thorny issue of religion in our political
discourse–how America’s complicated relationship with
Christianity has manifested and been co-opted across our history,
and what it means for our future.
