Join us as we resist rule by religious extremism
A political ideology rooted in radical religious doctrine dominates our state and federal government – and we see the destructive results in the news every day. Commonly known as Christian nationalism, the movement deviates widely from Christian and democratic norms. It threatens the religious and political liberty of most Americans in favor of an anti-democratic minority organized by self-styled prophets and their wealthy donors. Hoosiers United delves into the core tenets, history and impact on our lives of this powerful force.
Our Mission
The mission of Hoosiers United for Separation of Church and State is to defend the separate roles of government and religion that are foundational to the greatness of the United States, to expose the ideological basis behind the current rise of American authoritarianism and to reverse and prevent its implementation in all levels of government.
