“What are we to do with the fact that Christians, like myself, claim to believe in what pastor-theologian Francis Schaeffer once called ‘true truth’ and yet seem to be no less likely to fall into the traps of political tribal thinking and even conspiracy theories? On the one hand, many evangelicals like myself were raised to believe in ‘absolute truth’ and were warned against threats of creeping secular ‘relativism’ and ‘postmodernism.’ But on the other hand, Christians (of all political persuasions) regularly promote ideologically driven propaganda, misinformation, conspiracy theories, and untruths. In fact, according to one survey by the American Enterprise Institute, white evangelical Republicans are more likely than nonevangelical Republicans to believe a host of conspiracies, including something as farcical as the QAnon conspiracies.” (02/01/26)
