Should Religion Be in Public Schools? Christianity, MAGA & the Separation of Church and State

Kathleen and Alejandro tackle one of those subjects you're supposedly not supposed to bring up at the dinner table: religion. After seeing a Texas hearing involving James Talarico and the debate over Christianity in public schools, they discuss why they believe faith should remain separate from government and public education in a country made up of many different religions and beliefs.

The conversation expands into the relationship between Christianity and the far right, Trump's appeal to religious voters, megachurches and wealth, and the difference between practicing faith and using religion to justify political beliefs. Kathleen and Alejandro also get personal about their own relationships with religion, how they want to teach their children about God, and why questioning your beliefs can be healthy.

They close by looking beyond religion at America's larger political divide, cancel culture, compromise, and whether people with different beliefs can learn to disagree without treating one another as enemies.
