I sat down with Tihomir Kukolia, Executive Director of the Forum for Leadership and Reconciliation, to expose the Christian nationalist infrastructure hiding inside the "America Reads the Bible" event — and why it should alarm every American, Christian or not. What we cover: — Why the "America Reads the Bible" event is not a celebration of faith, but a political act of Christian nationalism — The theological sleight of hand behind calling Trump "America's Solomon" — How 2 Chronicles 7:14 is being weaponized — and why that's a textbook case of scripture abuse — The real history: America's 250-year-old founding documents contain zero references to Christianity — Why the Pledge of Allegiance's "under God" was added in 1954 — not 1776 — How this event fits into a larger MAGA theology project to rewrite American identity Tihomir Kukolia brings a global perspective on religious nationalism that cuts through the noise. This is not a culture war argument — it's a theological and historical reckoning.
