How Christianity transformed the US and its politics | Religion with Aslan Pahari
The United States of America will decide in coming days who will be their next president, former president Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
The 2024 presidential election is the first since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, which protected the national right to an abortion, bringing faith and policy into the spotlight.
The US is the largest Christian country in the world, with over 200 million followers. Christians have been so important politically that major parties have used religious beliefs and values to sway voters to support them at the ballot box.
So how did a country founded on religious freedom become so intertwined with Protestant Christianity?
In this series examining religion, join Aslan Pahari as he explores Christianity’s rise in the USA and its ongoing political power. ? Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDTPrMoGHssBgIJZjR30maRcB0I0n_gXA
