Religious symbols, rituals, identities, banners, signs, and sounds suffused the events surrounding the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Uncivil Religion project traces the thread of religion that wound throughout that day through pieces of digital media. It does this in two ways. First, there is a collection of essays that analyze individual pieces of media from January 6 in order to explain the role religion played that day. Second, there is a series of galleries that contain pieces of media that represent the variety of ways religion "showed up" on January 6. The Uncivil Religion project is illustrative and not exhaustive. There is so much more to be found, said, and documented about the role of religion on January 6 and this week, Will and Josh speak with the two individuals who masterminded this entire project!

Make sure you check out their work, you will not be disappointed: uncivilreligion.org
