What does a post-God country look like? Look around, Q-Anon and Critical Race Theory didn’t come from nowhere.
This week on “Right Now with Stephen Kent,” Stephen is joined by guest political comedian Andrew Heaton and co-host Shoshana Weissmann to discuss the decline in participation in religion over the generations, how politics are reshaping the religion definition, why we look at Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden with such reverence, and why the Conservative, Democrat, and Libertarian parties are serving as new spiritual homes for the formerly faithful.
