Episode 18: New, Improved, and Super-Sanctified, Part 1
America is easily the most religious country among the wealthy western democracies.
In almost every other nation, greater wealth and educational levels correlate with a drop-off in levels of religiosity.
The USA remains a conspicuous outlier in this regard.
Why? Episode 18 of Before We Were White - "New, Improved, and Super-Sanctified, Part 1" is out now.
An exploration of the curious synergy between God and Mammon in American history, from Canaan to Corporation, from Pilgrims to Pentacostalism, from Jamestown to Jonestown.
Part 1 goes right back to the source, tracing the line between Bronze Age storm gods and the Medieval Catholic church.
