The Narrative Form of Scapegoating
In this video,
our friend Chip Berlet examines religious politics, secular values,
dominionism and conspiracy theory in America. Included in his
enlightening half-hour talk, Berlet recounts the Puritan heritage and
the evolution of Christian fundamentalism that became the Christian
Right. More importantly, Chip discusses how the toxic ideas of
conservative evangelicals spreads throughout US society in the form of
conspiracy theories as the narrative form of scapegoating.
