“Religion and Morality” What did the founders mean? (Andrew Seidel; One Nation, Indivisible podcast Episode #017)

Andrew tackles Trump’s new Religious Liberty Commission, which had its first meeting at the Museum of the Bible and which focused heavily on the myths of Christian Nationalism, especially what the founders meant when they wrote of “religion and morality.”
