Commentary
Today’s culture is often considered secular, implying that America is primarily divided between the religious and the non-religious. However, in addition to the many religions that enjoy freedom in the United States, the ideology of the political left seems to be a religion of its own. The left prides itself on its detachment from God and country. Yet its adherents embrace the tenets of the state and the doctrines of their own political ideology with religious fervor, labeling any who oppose them as a heretic.
Liberals increasingly label conservatives “Christian nationalists,” or more commonly, Nazis and fascists. Ordained minister and best-selling author Lucas Miles, host of the EpochTV series “Church and State,” shows that the political left is a religion of its own. It is a religion, moreover, that resembles the statism of Nazi Germany much more than it resembles Christianity.
In an episode entitled “The Holy Trinity of the Left,” Miles defines Christian nationalism, explores how Christians should respond to this label, and takes a look at the German Church under Nazism.

The media and the left conspire to paint Christianity as hateful and oppressive.
