Powerful Christian Nationalists in Military See Trump as Vehicle for Authoritarian Religious State (2021)

Christian fundamentalist nationalists in the senior ranks of the military, see Trump as an instrument of God’s plan to create an authoritarian Christian state. The military allows active proselytizing and recruitment of soldiers, contrary to the constitutional separation of church and state. Many of these officers and soldiers were involved in the events leading up to and on Jan 6th, which has been described as an attempted coup.

Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation joins Paul Jay on theAnalysis.news.
