I Escaped Christian Conservative Indoctrination
When I was in grade school, I was taught that liberals were my enemy, God will send these nonbelievers to hell, and how it was up to me to ensure that the Democratic party failed in everything it attempted.
Because I wasn’t just raised in a church. I was indoctrinated into Christian Conservatism. And I was one of the fortunate ones who were able to eventually walk away from it.
But this isn’t just about my story. We’re gonna talk about how these religious values uphold authoritarianism in plain sight. This is The Kayse Melone Show.
