Christians and Rights

In our first Patron-requested topic of the summer, Professor Kozlowski throws caution to the winds and addresses the contemporary state of American Christianity in politics and society: How did we get here?

To challenge Professor Kozlowski to a duel, threaten his well being, or otherwise demand that he stop making podcasts, visit his webpage: https://professorkozlowski.wordpress.com/ or contact him directly at profbkozlowski2@gmail.com. (I'm not really worried. I assume I'm too boring and long-winded to make anyone really mad at me.)
