Jared Huffman saw something chillingly close to that vision. Thousands of Christians following self-declared prophets stormed the Capitol. The insurrection should have been a national wake-up call about Christian nationalism. Instead, most Americans and politicians looked away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eNo Prophets\u003c\/em\u003e argues that Christian nationalism is now America's most dangerous political movement. Huffman pulls back the curtain on religious extremists behind the insurrection who have only grown more powerful with Trump's return. Openly vowing to destroy church-state separation and democracy as we know it, they now work inside the highest levels of government to drive domestic and foreign policy, reshape federal agencies, undermine science and education, and tilt elections. The endgame: an authoritarian theocracy that imposes their religious beliefs by force of law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on his experiences as a formerly devout Christian and the only Humanist ever to serve in Congress, Huffman maps the movement's largely hidden landscape--taking readers behind the scenes of the Capitol, exposing the tactics and myths Christian nationalists use to advance their agenda, and showing how America is imperiled by our reluctance to confront threats cloaked in Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, he argues, it's not too late.
