Highly acclaimed author and Senior fellow at the @BrookingsInstitution , Jonathan Rauch joins Wilk to discuss his new book "Cross Purposes: Christianityโs Broken Bargain with Democracy".
This powerful new work delves into the complex and often fraught relationship between Christianity and democracy in America. Jonathan reflects on his own journey as an atheist from skepticism to a deeper appreciation for the role of Christianity in fostering a virtuous societyโsomething our founders understood as essential for a thriving democracy.
Weโll talk about why fear, outrage, and grievance have become so toxic in our political and civic life, how a more Christ-like approach can help heal societal divides, and what it means to reconnect Christianity with its core tenets. Jonathan challenges us to think about the vital role of 'thick' Christianityโfaith that provides meaning, virtue, and communityโin building a stronger, more inclusive democracy.
As always, our conversation touches on the work of Braver Angels, the importance of depolarization, and the need for both secular and religious communities to come together with understanding. So, get ready for another insightful conversation with Jonathan Rauch, right here on Derate the Hate.
