BAD FAITH: Christian Nationalism’s Threat to Democracy in Wilmington
October 17 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
On January 6, 2021, Americans witnessed an attack on the U.S. Capitol without precedent in our history. Armed militiamen and QAnon followers made headlines, but among them were a sea of crosses and Christian flags, rosaries and “Jesus Saves” signs. What motivated so many Christians to participate in this violent assault?
