Rev. Dr. Michael Faulkner | 01-11-26

In this radio broadcast, hosts Rabbi Joseph Potasnik and Reverend A.R. Bernard interview Reverend Dr. Michael Faulkner to explore the complex intersection of faith and governance in the United States. The dialogue centers on the distinction between shared Judeo-Christian principles and the more extreme ideology of Christian nationalism, which Faulkner defines as a dangerous form of triumphalism that seeks religious dominion over the state. By distinguishing between cultural influences and state religion, the speakers argue that while biblical ethics shaped America’s founding, the nation must remain a pluralistic society where religious freedom and civic equality are guaranteed for all.
