59: Restoring Justice

China and the Cult of Xi Jinping Replacing Jesus

Reports from China's Jiangxi province describe a government mandate for Christians to replace images of Jesus with posters of President Xi Jinping to receive poverty alleviation benefits. The hosts compare this to the personality cult of Mao Zedong and the "Overton Window" strategy of gradually replacing religious faith with state worship. They warn that the next generation is being conditioned to see the state as the source of salvation.
