Religious studies scholar Anthea Butler addressed racism in American evangelism, describing it as a feature and not a bug at Tuesday’s “UNIV101 Presents” webinar entitled “Religion, Race, and the Future of Democracy in America.” Butler pointed to the Civil Rights Movement as evidence that white evangelicals selectively involved themselves in political battles to maintain a racial hierarchy. Later in the discussion, Stasio asked how Butler could explain former President Donald Trump’s support among evangelicals in light of his moral failings.
