MAGA’s Spiritual Future

March 25, 2026

50 min

Conservatism in American politics has historically been tied to religious communities, bound by common concerns of morality and common values. As the MAGA movement emerged, it did not exhibit these traits. Is the MAGA movement post-Christian? And what does this mean for traditional conservatives? Join Matt and Shadi as they explore MAGA’s spiritual future, probe Matt’s conservativism and voting habits, and examine Shadi’s impressions of the future of the religious Right.
