DESCRIPTION:Is America a pluralistic democracy\, or is it a divinely ordain
 ed promised land for European Christians? These competing visions of the n
 ation have divided us throughout our history. Robert P. Jones\, president 
 and founder of PRRI\, will discuss his New York Times bestselling book\, T
 he Hidden Roots of White Supremacy and the Path to a Shared American Futur
 e\, which returns to the fateful year when a little-known church doctrine 
 emerged that shaped the way five centuries of European Christians would un
 derstand the “discovered” world and the people who populated it. This 
 reframing of American origins exposes the deep historical roots of white C
 hristian nationalism--a hierarchical worldview of God-ordained dominance t
 hat is correlated with antisemitic\, anti-immigrant\, and Islamophobic att
 itudes\, along with denials of systemic racism and an insistence on patria
 rchal gender roles. Jones explores how the rise of white Christian nationa
 lism today is not just about our partisan divides\, but about the future o
 f a pluralistic democracy in the U.S.\n\n\nRobert P. Jones is the presiden
