Newsletters / Is America Ready For Religious Rule?

The Visionary

Ready or not, here it… already is? This week at The Visionary, we take a look at stories about faith and government intersecting in America. While some have expressed fear that NYC’s just-elected Muslim mayor could usher “Sharia Law” into the country, others are pointing to signs that particular religious beliefs – Christian ones – are already supplanting the law of the land.

From accusations that he would “celebrate” another 9/11 to baseless speculation he’ll implement Sharia Law, Mamdani’s rise has revealed that Islamophobia is alive and well in 2025. Now he's in office. What comes next?
