American religion is undergoing a seismic shift. Churches are no longer houses of worship—they're political echo chambers. In this video, Brit Hartley unpacks how political identity has overtaken theology in shaping American faith. From the rise of Christian nationalism to progressive spiritual communities, we explore how both the left and right have weaponized Jesus for their causes. This isn't just about church decline—it's about the soul of religion in America. Whether you're religious, spiritual, or secular, this conversation will make you question what religion has become—and what it could be again. Timestamps, political trends, theological breakdowns, and the deeper implications of the IRS’s recent ruling on churches endorsing candidates—this is a raw and honest look at the politics of Jesus in 2025.
