This is likely to be an unpopular opinion, but please hear me out. The US is under assault from within by Christian Dominionists aka Christian Nationalists. These people are not Christians. They are a performative death cult driven by a patriarchal, fascist worldview. We all know that, and we can all agree on that. Okay, here comes the unpopular opinion.
The only way to fight Christian Nationalism is through learning what Christianity is and what it isn't. That means studying The Bible, talking to Christians who are horrified by what is happening and bringing them in as allies, becoming members of organizations that fight to keep Church and State (Surprise! There are tons of religious people who belong to these organizations because they see the danger of Christian Nationalism), and countering Christian Nationalists' talking points with Scripture they claim to hold so dear.
A good place to start studying The Bible is The Skeptics Annotated Bible, found here:

Second, join a secular organization actively working on advocacy and court cases involving Church - State separation issues. Here is list from Wikipedia:

Third, follow Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian on YouTube and website (it's satire)
Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian - YouTube https://m.youtube.com/user/mrsbettybowers
I hope you all will have an open mind on this, and give it try. As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: “If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
