| Summary: | As the United States approaches the 2024 presidential election, its citizens are experiencing extreme political and religious schism. Separation of church and state is no longer the mantra of the US population. Instead, declarations of which political candidate is “anointed” by God fill the airwaves as well as social media networks. Individuals on both sides of the schism are convinced they know and hear the voice of God and are convinced their favored candidate is the one ordained by God to be the next president of the United States. The confusion created by this rhetoric is intensified by declarations from both sides that democracy is at risk. This article strives to answer the question, “What is really at stake?” |
