Hobby Lobby family's alleged use of profits for Christian nationalism detailed in new book

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Investigative journalist Michael Blanding has authored a book detailing how the Green family, owners of Hobby Lobby, has allegedly used the company's profits to promote their evangelical worldview. The book, "The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby," argues this effort constitutes Christian nationalism and influences American law, education, and culture. Blanding highlights the family's acquisition of tens of thousands of biblical artifacts, some of which were later seized by federal agents due to looting concerns, leading to a $3 million settlement and forfeiture of items.
