Jane Bradley: Elizabeth, I’ve been covering nationalist right-wing politics in Britain for years, and I have to say I never thought I’d be partnering with our religion correspondent to write about British politics. We just don’t have the same kind of religious identity in politics over here. We have lawmakers who are religious, of course, but they don’t usually talk about Christian values on the campaign trail or see their faith as driving policy. I’ve covered religion and politics here for more than 15 years, and conservative Christianity has only gotten more fused with right-wing politics, especially since President Trump’s rise to power. Jane: Our article today revealed how a Christian legal group, the Alliance Defending Freedom, is working to change the political discussion around religion and abortion.
