What makes you think the guy is a Christian fundamentalist? From what I’ve seen, he’s been very outspoken about the criticality of the separation of church and state.
Just so you know, Christian fundamentalism is not at all defined by an individual believer's stance in regard to the Free Exercise Clause. Someone being a "Christian fundamentalist" simply means they believe in Biblical literalism. It may or may not coincide with other beliefs, political or religious. And even then the purely religious definition tends to shift over time.
It's really just the faux-fundamentalists who don't actually believe in their book at all, and who have hijacked religious belief to shore up failing hold on political power, that don't like separation of church and state.
I'm not a fan of Talarico, I think he's an unknown quantity at this point, but I offer this clarification in defense of the many non-political and apolitical fundies I have known in my time. Please do not confuse them with the hyper-politicized neofascist version of "Christianity" now popular in right-wing power grabs.
As for Talarico, he has personally been a critic of "Christian nationalism" and doesn't identify as anything even close to Christian fundamentalism but rather as a Presbyterian. It's about as vanilla as you can get these days and leans liberal: they're the kind of Christians uber-conservative Christians love to hate.
Sure, but I was trying to highlight he’s not an extremist. Presbyterians aren’t bible literalists
You're right, I misunderstood. Thanks for the correction.
All good, I probably should have been more clear
I don't believe christians when they say that.
Talarico gives me Mike Johnson vibes.
