In her deeply reported investigation, Katherine Stewart reveals a disturbing truth: this is a political movement that seeks to gain power and to impose its vision on all of society. America\u2019s religious nationalists aren\u2019t just fighting a culture war, they are waging a political war on the norms and institutions of American democracy.<\/p>\n This fascinating and informative video runs 53 minutes and can be seen at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/americanhumanist\/videos\/1121321928211408<\/a>. An audience discussion will follow the showing of the video.<\/p>\n ———-<\/p>\n RSVP on Meetup here<\/a>.
