Synopsis

Sinclair Lewis is said to have predicted, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." Democratic congressman Jared Huffman witnessed something eerily like that vision on January 6, 2021. That was his wake-up call to the shocking power of Christian nationalism.

No Prophets argues that Christian nationalism is now America's most dangerous political movement. Huffman uncovers the landscape of this movement--who they are, what they want, and how they plan to get it--and reveals how it has destabilized our nation more than most recognize. Blending deep research with untold stories from inside our government, he examines how this violent confederation of religious extremists is undermining science, education, foreign policy, and the very architecture of our democracy. But, Huffman argues, it's not too late.

Provocative and clear-eyed, No Prophets exposes an existential threat to our democracy and compels us to reclaim the values core to our secular republic.
