Why have so many Americans turned against democracy? Katherine Stewart pulls back the curtain on the inner workings and leading features of a movement that have weaponized disinformation and grievance and turned religion into a tool of domination. Her reporting and political analysis helps frame the conversation about the moral collapse of conservatism in America and points the way toward a democratic future.
Katherine Stewart is the award-winning author of Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy (Bloomsbury, 2025). Her previous book, The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism, formed the basis of the documentary feature God & Country, produced by Rob Reiner. Stewart's work appears in The New York Times op ed, New Republic, Religion News Service and others.
