The Hellfire Nation

1 x 46 HD
Broadcaster:  CNA

Award-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar travels the length and breadth of the United States to discover how the resurgent Christian right has gained momentum since the election of Donald Trump, posing an increasing threat to America’s long-standing secularist traditions.

 

The Founding Fathers of the United States insisted on a wall of separation between Church and State. However radical evangelical beliefs are still a potent force in the country today and continue to influence how many Americans see their nation’s destiny, with some people holding onto the idea that they are leading the world for, and in the name of, God.

 

Mobeen Azhar investigates how the Christian right is breaking through this wall, denouncing other faiths  and capitalizing on Donald Trump’s promise to “Make America Great Again” in order to further their own religious agenda.
