About this episode
The Non-Prophets take on Texas’ latest Christian nationalist push—a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments. But Rep. James Talarico, a Christian Democrat, is having none of it. In a series of epic takedowns, Talarico grills his colleagues on their hypocrisy, biblical illiteracy, and blatant disregard for the Constitution. The hosts analyze the bill’s legal problems, political motives, and the power of standing up for real religious freedom.
