What if the biggest fear leveraged by the far right isn't that of immigrants, invasion, or economic decline, but is something far darker and more abstract?
I want to take a deep dive with you into the motivations behind the religious right's culture war and show how they exploit fears of hell, demons, and the mythology of spiritual warfare to manipulate working-class Americans into defending billionaires, backing Christian nationalism, and fighting culture-war battles that distract from real issues like healthcare, wages, and surveillance. We'll see how fear becomes a weapon and how science, history, and critical thinking can shrink the devil out of the gaps entirely. I used to be terrified of the devil and believed demons stalked me in the night. That terror controlled my life, and still controls millions of people around the world.
But I managed to escape the fear, and in this video, I'll share how I got out and how you can too.
