On the most recent episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast, radical Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon and his co-hosts advocated for the government to literally seize control of churches that do not share their far-right theology. It’s the latest bit of evidence that they view core American values like religious liberty and religious pluralism as nothing more than roadblocks to be dismantled as they impose their Christian nationalist vision on the U.S.

The discussion began when co-host Wesley Todd complained that there are tens of thousands of "apostate" churches in the United States and thus it would take "decades of work" to properly re-educate their parishioners. Instead, Todd said, the government should investigate every church in the nation and then seize the "wicked" ones and redistribute their holdings to "faithful churches."

"Hear me out," Todd said. "The president, the sovereign, the magistrate, Barron Trump, he comes out and he says, 'I've taken a task force. We've gone through every website. We've driven by every building and we have logged thousands of churches with Pride flags out front, women on the clergy, and there are soldiers on the street now. We are taking their property and we are giving it to the faithful churches in town.'"

"That is completely historically within the realm of the magistrate," Todd continued. "He can do that. You are an apostate, wicked church and your building, your land, your heritage is taken from you and it is given to those that will bear the fruits of it."
