Christian Nationalism and Public Policy in the US

Christian nationalism — an ideology and movement advocating a fusion of Christian symbols with American civic life — has risen to prominence over the past several years, with real-world implications for politics and policy.

Past Convenings

The Religion, Reverence and Tolerance Workshop brought together scholars, journalists and policy makers seeking to identify the kinds of theological, historical, political, social, or perhaps even accidental factors which facilitate in some regions pluralism, tolerance, and reverence for other religions and belief systems.
