Ep:7 When a City Showcases Islam, Creeds Provide Cover for Heresy, and Evangelicals Stand Alone

In this episode of Christianly, we examine what sits underneath New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosting a public Islamic iftar at City Hall and what it reveals about public religion and the importance of symbols in the civic imagination. We then turn to a viral clip from The Holy Post Podcast and ask whether affirming the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds is being used as a substitute for real obedience…or in the inverse, heresy. Finally, we look at data shared by political scientist Ryan Burge and the 2024 Pew Religious Landscape Survey where evangelicals remain the lone bulwark consistently opposing abortion, same-sex marriage, and the normalization of homosexuality, and why that makes them a target.
