Unreasonable
Feeling overwhelmed by the relentless attack on American Democracy by the Religious Right? Welcome to Unreasonable: sane conversations for a country that's lost its friggin' mind. But Unreasonable is more than a podcast. It’s the start of a movement to reverse the inexorable rise of religious fanaticism taking over our government and our lives, on issues from public education, to women’s reproductive health, to the mainstreaming of loud-and-proud racism. Here we not only learn together what in the world's going on with our country, we develop an action plan to move America forward. It’s time for all of us who believe in the Separation of Church and State to unite — as the majority of Americans we are — in the name of democracy, common sense and kindness. Is that really so unreasonable?

"Courting Disaster" with Andrew Seidel
As a constitutional lawyer, Andrew Seidel has fought on the front lines in the battle to protect and preserve the separation of church and state.
He’s written two books on the scourge of Christian Nationalism: “The Founding Myth” provides a detailed history of the false notion that America was founded as a Christian nation, how the myth began and who’s perpetuating it today.
“American Crusade” focuses on how Christian Nationalists have won incremental battles in the courts for over 50 years leading to foundational changes in our country, from deciding elections to the reversal of Roe, book bans, the legal erasure of Black history, public funding for religious institutions, an insurrection, and the theocratical activism of our Supreme Court.
He is a ubiquitous presence on social media, and his TikToks go viral. This may sound superficial, but his warnings are resonating with younger audiences. He’s found a way to communicate arcane constitutional issues in ways everyone can understand.
All of this makes Andrew Seidel the perfect guest to help us close out Season One of “Unreasonable: Church, State and the American Divide.”
