Comedian and author John Fugelsang joins Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger to discuss his book Separation of Church and Hate, which critiques Christian nationalism and highlights how Jesus’s actual teachings are often ignored by fundamentalists. Fugelsang explains how Christianity has been co-opted for authoritarian control throughout history, contrasting it with the compassionate, justice-driven faith he grew up with. The conversation touches on personal upbringing, Catholic Church controversies, and how religion has been misused for power. Fugelsang argues that true Christianity emphasizes humility, service, and love rather than political domination.
