National Debate: Christianity and Politics

June 2, 2026

8:00-10:00 p.m. (ET)

Is separation between church and state a fundamental pillar of American democracy, or does it ignore our nation’s heritage? With the influence of faith in the public square a recurring focal point for both legal and social friction, the question of whether Christian practices belong in U.S. government has become a defining debate of our time.

Proponents of strict secularism argue that the U.S. government must remain a neutral ground to ensure true religious freedom for all citizens. Others raise concerns that excluding religious expression is an act of hostility and argue that "secularism" should not mean the erasure of religious identity from the public square.

What role should Christianity play in US politics? Join us for a debate on Resolved: Christian practices have no place in U.S. government.

Note: This resolution does not represent Braver Angels' stance on the issue. We will alternate between speeches in support of and against the resolution.
