Rebecca Markert, Vice President and Legal Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State , joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to discuss the fundamental American principle of the separation of church and state, as included in the Constitution. The Johnson Amendment, passed 70 years ago, is a critical law that prevents churches and charities from endorsing or opposing political candidates.

Deepak and Rebecca talk about:

  • Historical perspective of the Johnson Amendment and bipartisan support
  • Efforts to inject more religion into public schools
  • The threat of religious beliefs being used to undermine democratic principles
  • The rise of White Christian nationalism and efforts to dismantle the separation between church and state
  • Calls to action
