While American Christianity has been at the heart of so much violence and oppression in society, it has managed to maintain a wholesome, family-friendly appearance. Its racist history and extremist beliefs are hidden behind a façade of well-intentioned conversion tactics and a narrative that Christians only want to do good in the world.

But beneath the surface of the manicured church buildings lie insidious narratives that form the bedrock of the most influential religion in the most powerful nation in the world.

Join two former fundamentalists—Dr. Camille K. Lewis, author of the forthcoming book Klandamentalism: Dysfunction and Violence in America’s Most Romantic Religious Movements, and Anthem Award-winning podcast producer Nate Nakao—as they explore the extremist roots of the religion that's as American as apple pie: Evangelical Christianity.
