The Charlie Kirk Effect, Hate Crime at Syracuse, and Rapture Predictions

Total Information AM Weekend

In this Week in Religion, Fred Bodimer looks at the rise in church attendance following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with nearly 100,000 people attending his memorial and reports of packed churches across the country. He also covers a hate crime at a Jewish fraternity at Syracuse University during Rosh Hashanah, where pork was thrown into the house, leading to charges against two students. The segment wraps with a discussion on a viral Rapture prophecy from a South African man, explained in context by historian Randall Balmer, and the broader conversation about apocalyptic beliefs and marginalization.
