Recovering Evangelicals #35 – Evangelicals, QAnon, and the Insurrection
We’ve all seen images of the storming of the US Capitol. Among those many images, did you notice the pictures of people carrying Bibles or crosses? Signs with Christian slogans? A flag with the words: “Jesus is my Savior, Trump is my president”?
What was the connection between Christianity and the insurrectionists at the Capitol?
In this episode, we take a deep dive down into the rabbit hole known as QAnon, and find a community and a worldview that looks very much like a vocal and politically active segment of Evangelical Christianity. Which explains the resonance and the synergy between them when they started to listen to and collaborate with a small band of armed revolutionaries.
