Tennessee GOP Candidate for Governor Wants to Ban Islam

Monty Fritts, a Republican state representative, Liberty University graduate, self-described Christian Nationalist, and candidate for Tennessee governor, says he wants to ban Islam—along with other religions he dismisses as "pagan." His argument is that Islam isn't really a religion, so the First Amendment doesn't apply. That's legally absurd, but it's also revealing. It's a reminder that some politicians invoke "religious liberty" only when it benefits conservative Christianity.
