The radical pastor Hegseth invited to preach at the Pentagon shares his vision for America




His network of churches is still very small in the United States and his beliefs represent a minority of Christians in this country. But Wilson's proximity to power, by way of his links to Hegseth, has never been more pronounced.

Under that vision, Wilson told NPR that non-Christians wouldn't hold public office. Asked whether non-Christians would be allowed to vote, Wilson said, "Yes, probably," adding that there would be restrictions on public spaces for non-Christian activities.

"So probably the best illustration of this would be church bells? Yes. Minarets? No," he said.

Why?

"Because, the public space would belong to Christ," he added.

Wilson also wants to repeal women's right to vote. When asked why, he was quick to respond.

"Because it's a good idea," he said, adding that he wants it replaced with household voting, with women only voting if they are the head of their household.
