Donald Trump threaten genocide via nuclear attack while science lands four astronauts back on this floating rock after launching them around the moon. Andrew discusses these two polar opposites, the calls to remove Trump under the 25th Amendment, whether impeachment might be better, and the toxic masculinity documentary on Netflix.

Has there been a bigger news week? Trump threatens to commit war crimes on Easter morning, but even before that, it was insane. The Supreme Court just made American healthcare worse, while a California jury may have made social media much better. The next Citizens United is averted, a Ten Commandments monument in Arkansas falls after a decade, and Trump stupidly goes to the Supreme Court in real life. Plus, Noem’s bimbofication scandal, Bondi is out, JD doesn’t know what church he attends, and Paula White thinks Trump is Jesus. And, oh yeah, we’re going back to the moon.

Why are the No Kings rallies so important? Andrew is back to explain and to recap a delightful debate he had on the Freethought Cruise. Plus a roundup of the news including: a Ten Commandments win, a Georgia woman arrested on abortion/murder charges, two seemingly disconnected stories about Pete Hegseth blocking promotions for women and non-white officers, and how you can help Andrew with the haters.  The Summit for Religious Freedom, April 25-27FreeFlo Conference Feb. 2027You can see “Attilla the Hunn’s” 1-star review here.Arkansas Ten Commandments win!Abortion Everyday Substack about Georgia arrest, with action itemsNPR Story on Hegseth blocking promotionsSeriously, join me at the Summit for Religious Freedom in April!Subscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus content every Monday - and all the benefits from Straight White American Jesus: bonus content on Mondays, bonus episodes every month, ad-free listening, access to the entire 1000-episode archive, Discord access, and more: https://axismundi.supercast.com/Subscribe to One Nation, Indivisible with Axis Mundi MediaAndrew's socials: Instagram TikTok YouTube Threads BlueskyAndrew’s books: American Crusade: How the Supreme Court is Weaponizing Religious FreedomThe Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-AmericanAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Andrew and Seth Andrews have been friends for the better part of a decade. On this pod, they invite you into one of the many conversations they’ve had over the years about the organized fight against religion and for church-state separation—but this time, they’re recording it.

Noem is out; Markwayne Mullin is in. There are reasons to criticize him, but January 6th is not one. The Supreme Court issues another shadow docket decision that targets LGBTQ kids and grants absurd power to religious parents. Schools may not be the same. Did commanders really tell soldiers we were going to war with Iran to bring on Armageddon? There’s really good reasons to be skeptical. Plus, Talarico wins and says God is nonbinary, WaPo thinks we need evangelicals on the Supreme Court, and those evangelicals lay hands on and pray over Trump in the Oval Office. Ick. Mirabelli v.

Andrew’s back and there’s so much to cover: the DOJ withheld Epstein files about allegations that Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl and Trump invades Iran to distract from that story. Trump ruins the Olympics and the US men’s hockey team fails a basic humanity test. Plus, the Supreme Court tariffs decision isn’t what you thought, a federal appeals court botches a decision on the Ten Commandments, and Tucker Carlson interviews Mike Huckabee, our ambassador to Israel, and they talk about the Bible influencing public policy—kind of. NPR story “Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump”Link to Strict Scrutiny episode referencedTucker Carlson interviews Mike HuckabeeSubscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus content every Monday - and all the benefits from Straight White American Jesus: bonus content on Mondays, bonus episodes every month, ad-free listening, access to the entire 1000-episode archive, Discord access, and more: https://axismundi.supercast.com/Subscribe to One Nation, Indivisible with Axis Mundi MediaAndrew's socials: Instagram TikTok YouTube Threads BlueskyAndrew’s books: American Crusade: How the Supreme Court is Weaponizing Religious FreedomThe Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-AmericanAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Fish Stark joins Andrew to talk about bringing empathy back to America and how folks can get $1,000 grants for empathy projects that will take place across the country on May 2. This is much bigger than just a single project, this is an answer to the toxicity of Christian Nationalism, MAGA politics, and the division in this country. But it could also be the answer for growing the secular movement. This is the very time Fish and Andrew have chatted and history is lucky it was (mostly) recorded. The American Empathy Project. Empathy project guidelines. I donated $100 and hope y’all will too. The American Humanist Association can be found hereBittersoutherner.comIf you can’t support AHA or the project, you can still spread the word by sharing the social media videos announcing the project. Or just share them anyway.Subscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus content every Monday - and all the benefits from Straight White American Jesus: bonus content on Mondays, bonus episodes every month, ad-free listening, access to the entire 1000-episode archive, Discord access, and more: https://axismundi.supercast.com/Subscribe to One Nation, Indivisible with Axis Mundi MediaAndrew's socials: Instagram TikTok YouTube Threads BlueskyAndrew’s books: American Crusade: How the Supreme Court is Weaponizing Religious FreedomThe Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-AmericanAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Andrew brings back Annika Brockschmidt, friend of the pod, German historian and expert on American Christian nationalism. One year after her first appearance in the inaugural episode, Annika tells Andrew how the US is doing on its slide toward authoritarianism/fascism. A wide ranging and surprising conversation. Brockschmidt is a journalist, scholar, and author of Amerikas Gotteskrieger: Wie die Religiöse Rechte die Demokratie gefährdet (roughly translated as “America’s Godly Warriors: How Religious Right Endangers Democracy”). Annika’s socials: Instagram BlueskySubscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus content every Monday - and all the benefits from Straight White American Jesus: bonus content on Mondays, bonus episodes every month, ad-free listening, access to the entire 1000-episode archive, Discord access, and more: https://axismundi.supercast.com/Subscribe to One Nation, Indivisible with Axis Mundi MediaAndrew's socials: Instagram TikTok YouTube Threads BlueskyAndrew’s books: American Crusade: How the Supreme Court is Weaponizing Religious FreedomThe Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-AmericanAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
