From Florida to the Nation: Amanda Tyler on Christian Nationalism and Religious Freedom - 12/2/25

Presented by the Florida initiative of Jews for a Secular Democracy through the generous support from the Eula Mae & John Baugh Foundation, this program explores how Christian Nationalist ideology is reshaping policy across the Sunshine State and throughout America, threatening democracy, civil liberties, and religious freedom for all. Our featured speaker, Amanda Tyler, is Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty and founder of the Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign. She is joined by moderators Paul Golin, Executive Director of the Society for Humanistic Judaism, and Laura Rodriguez, Florida Organizer for Jews for a Secular Democracy. Together, they connect the dots between local legislation, extremist ideology, and the growing effort to enshrine one religion above all others in law and culture. What can individuals, congregations, and coalitions do to safeguard pluralism and democracy? What are the civic and moral responsibility of faith-based and secular communities to speak out? Please check out this important conversation.
