One Nation, Indivisible with Andrew Seidel

There’s a lot to catch up on after a vacation, but self-care these days is important. After diving into the horrific ICE shooting in Minnesota and the US military assault on Venezuela, Andrew explains how he survived 2025: Books. Books are a big part of the reason. Andrew goes over some of his favorite reads of 2025 (fiction and non-fiction). Full lists appear below.

Purity Culture has devastated Americans for decades but Erica Smith has been helping people shed the shame and disinformation around sex and purity. Andrew and Erica delve into the harm of purity culture—it’s racism, bigotry, obsession with virginity—but also talk about how people can recover and find their true self and live healthy, happy, sexual lives. Purity Culture is a Christian Nationalist ploy to breed more straight, white American Christians.

Andrew begins with some good news out of Oklahoma and a Christian Nationalist meltdown; he talks about Rob Reiner’s God + Country documentary and Trump’s reaction to Rob and Michele Singer Reiner’s murder. Then, Andrew wonders about Trump and Steven Miller’s real reasons for targeting Venezuela, especially in light of recent reporting and their dabbling with the Alien Enemies Act. Plus, the joy of the Vanity Fair article on White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and the accompanying photo spread.

Andrew has been on the road preaching the gospel of church-state separation in houses of worship. But first, we begin (and end) with a remembrance of Christopher Hitchens, who died on Dec. 15, 2011. Then Andrew breaks down why, even as an atheist, traveling around the country and giving talks in synagogues and churches is important. Monte Mader joined Andrew in Nashville and the event has Andrew thinking (link coming later). Andrew also muses about Nick Fuentes’s answers to Piers Morgan and about how modern masculinity can look a lot like high control religions.
