Money, Lies, and God: An Evening with Katherine Stewart

Join us for an evening with Katherine Stewart, a leading journalist and author exploring the rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States and beyond. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Republic, and, most recently in Canada, on The Fifth Estate.

Christian Nationalism is not Christianity. It is a movement that co-opts Christian symbols and the good intentions of many believers to accumulate power and wealth for a select few. In her latest book, Money, Lies, and God, Stewart unpacks the dangerous fusion of politics, religion, and money that is shaping our current political and cultural climate.

​Katherine Stewart is an American journalist and author who has been investigating the intersection of religion, politics, policy, and education for over 15 years. Her work frequently appears in publications such as The New York Times and The New Republic. ​

Her latest book, Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy (2025), investigates the rise of anti-democratic movements in the United States, focusing on the collaboration between wealthy conservative donors, think tanks, and far-right religious organizations. This book is the third in her series on religion and right-wing politics, following The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism (2020) and The Good News Club: The Christian Right's Stealth Assault on America's Children (2012). ​
