	Description:		Tennessee congressional candidate Kristi Burke joins God and Jesus to talk about running as an openly atheist former evangelical in one of the reddest districts in America. Kristi is running in Tennessee's 1st District against Rep. Diana Harshbarger after getting kicked out of Harshbarger's town hall for daring to ask questions. Now she's running a people-powered, no-corporate-PAC campaign built around three non-negotiables: healthcare as a human right, fully funded public education, and a fairer tax system where billionaires and corporations finally pay what they owe. She also talks about leaving the Southern Baptist church, fighting Christian nationalism, rural hospital closures in East Tennessee, voter apathy, gerrymandering, "dummymandering," and why she believes progressive policies can win even in deep red territory. As Kristi says in the interview: "I'm not negotiating my future." Bless that idea! Support Kristi's campaign at her website: https://www.votekristiburke.com/
