Christian nationalism is a new name for an old and dangerous ideology that conflates American identity with religious identity. Unwilling to acknowledge that America was always meant to be a country that respects people of all beliefs, adherents of Christian nationalism believe they enjoy special favor from God, and are guided by the belief that America is a nation for and by Christians.

Deeply entangled with strains of authoritarianism, white supremacy, and xenophobia, the ideology privileges the religious claims of the few above the vast majority of religious and non-religious Americans, who believe in church-state separation and democracy for and by the people — ALL the people.

Join us for an interfaith, in-depth analysis of how Christian nationalism has evolved and its implications on our world, led by Interfaith Alliance national CEO, Rev. Paul Raushenbush, with an introduction from Interfaith Alliance of Colorado CEO, Shara Smith.

Shara Smith is the CEO of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado. She is a highly experienced nonprofit leader and is a specialist in faith-based social justice initiatives.

Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush is an ordained Baptist minister and longtime leader in the interfaith movement working to protect an interfaith vision of religious freedom for people of all faiths and none.
