A Democrat Sounds the Alarm on Christian Nationalism in Congress

Representative Jared Huffman of California, the only self-declared “humanist” in Congress, has raised a significant concern about the increasing influence of Christian nationalism within the legislative body. In his new book, Huffman argues that the traditional separation of church and state is under threat. This issue matters because it touches on fundamental constitutional principles that define American democracy, potentially impacting how government and religion interact. Huffman's perspective highlights a broader debate about the role of faith in public life and the preservation of secular governance.
