Weekly Roundup: Common Sense Christian Supremacy (VP Debate Reaction) (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
In this episode of the weekly roundup, Dan and I dig into the recent vice-presidential debate featuring J.D. Vance & Tim Walz.
We break down Vance’s appeal to ‘common sense’ and his outright rejection of expert opinions, connecting it to the long-standing Catholic critique of liberalism that’s been around since Vatican II.
We also take a closer look at new data showing an unexpected rise in religious affiliation among Gen Z men, particularly when compared to women, and discuss what this trend means in the current socio-political climate.
Finally, we reflect on how religious identities continue to play a crucial role in shaping American politics, especially in the context of the MAGA movement.
And before we go, don’t forget to check out our upcoming events in Los Angeles and San Diego—hope to see you there!
