Populist movements in the United States rest on an unresolved question implicit within the country’s Constitution: Who are “We the People”? In their efforts to answer this question populist leaders have long used religious narratives, symbols, and practices. In this lecture, Rev. Colin Bossen, Senior Minister at the First UU Church of Houston and author of The Political Theologies of Populism, will explore populisms both past and present to better understand why populist movements, no matter their ideology, always have a religious dimension.
