"White Evangelical Support for Trump: A Conversation with NPR's Sarah McCammon"

NPR political correspondent Sarah McCammon, who grew up in an evangelical Christian community, discusses her personal journey of leaving the evangelical church and her observations on the culture of Christianity. Her new book, "The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church," explores the social movement of young people disillusioned with the church. McCammon reflects on the difficulty of defining "evangelical," her upbringing with a Christian worldview, her community's beliefs about pregnancy and abortion, and the challenge of filling in the gaps left from her upbringing as she distanced herself from the church.
