    What happens when religion is used to divide rather than unite? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh talks with comedian, actor, and political commentator John Fugelsang about his book “Separation of Church and Hate”. John shares how his progressive Catholic upbringing shaped his voice as a comedian and commentator and explores how fundamentalist movements have often twisted Christianity for power, far from the teachings of Jesus. From historical examples to modern politics, he shows how faith can be weaponized and how true Christ-followers stand up for justice and compassion. This episode also dives into navigating polarized opinions and understanding the real message of faith to think critically and lead with integrity.

Born on September 3, 1969, on Long Island, New York, he is the son of a former Catholic nun and a former Franciscan friar. John studied film and television at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and began a diverse career in entertainment that includes television, stand‑up comedy, and stage performances. He has appeared in films and TV shows such as “Coyote Ugly” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” and he’s been featured on major news networks including CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.
