Unlearning Christian Nationalism

How I Escaped (And You Can Too)

By: Todd Eubanks

Narrated by: Donny Baarns

The Handmaid's Tale depicts a religious dystopia, but I lived in the real thing — the rise of Christian Nationalism in America.

What I discovered when I escaped might shock you, but it also might be the key to your own liberation.

In this unflinching exposé, I reveal:
• How American Christianity became a weapon instead of a way of love
• Why the "persecution complex" is actually about maintaining power
• The ancient Hebrew concept that exposes modern Christian hypocrisy
• How to distinguish between authentic faith and nationalist ideology
• A path forward for those who refuse to choose between Jesus and justice

You'll discover the uncomfortable truth: The biggest threat to Christianity isn't atheism or secularism or any other ism, it's believers who've convinced themselves their hatred is holy, their exclusion is godly, and their cruelty is Christ-like.

This book is for you if:
• You feel spiritually homeless after leaving toxic church culture
• You're tired of choosing between your faith and your conscience
• You suspect something is deeply wrong with American Christianity
• You're ready to unlearn everything you thought you knew about following Jesus

From the Crusades to MAGA rallies, the pattern is clear: When faith becomes a tool of empire, people get hurt. Real people.

Because the deadliest lies are the ones we tell ourselves in God's name.

Eye opening

Fair warning: this will make you uncomfortable—but that’s exactly the point.

This book hit me right where I needed it. The author’s journey from evangelical Oklahoma to rejecting Christian nationalism is both personal and political. Watching the church transform into a wing of the MAGA movement, from Charlottesville to January 6th, Eubanks asks the questions many of us have been screaming: How did we get here?

This isn’t about theology, it’s about power. It’s a clear-eyed look at how Christianity has been weaponized for political control, and what it costs us as a country.

Highly recommended for anyone trying to understand the Christian nationalist movement and why it’s so dangerous.
