Stolen Babies, Fascist Spain, and American Christian Nationalism
It wasn’t that long ago that a Christian Nationalist government was working with Christian churches to steal newborn babies right out of their mothers’ arms to sell them to Christian fascist families for a profit.
It sounds too insane to be true, but it really happened. This is the darkness we face if we allow extremist Christian preachers like Chuck O’Neal of Beaverton, Oregon to replace American democracy with a Christian nation.
We don’t have to go to the fictional Christian Nationalist Gilead of Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale to see what Christian Nationalism would look like in practice. This week’s episode of Stop Christian Nationalism looks back to the atrocities of National Catholicism in fascist Spain under Francisco Franco less than 50 years ago.
