About this episode
Dr. Matthew Boedy discusses the long-term plans of the religious right to establish a Christian theocracy in the USA.
In this episode I’m going to dig down into the roots of the religious right and show you just how long they have been planning their coup. For decades, a well-funded network of religious and political operatives has been quietly working to dismantle democracy and replace it with Christian theocracy. Matthew Boedy is a professor of rhetoric at the University of North Georgia. He holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of South Carolina. He researches and writes about religious rhetoric, particularly in the last few years about the rise of Christian Nationalism. Dr. Boedy is president of the Georgia conference of the American Association of University Professors. He authored three books and has appeared on CNN and MSNBC and in The New York Times, The Washington Post. He was once a crime reporter and high school teacher.
