Is Politics Driving Gen Z Away from Church?
A Billy Graham Center Research Institute study of 2,365 young American adults found that 48% say Christians' support for Donald Trump has made them less likely to attend church. The researchers stop short of calling politics the main driver of disengagement — but the findings raise a sharper question: what happens when the gospel becomes hard to distinguish from a political tribe?

What Does Jesus Have to Do with Christian Nationalism?
Brian Stiller distinguishes between wanting Christian values to shape society and using state power to enforce a Christian vision.
