Hobby Lobby's Steve Green has assembled over 40,000 biblical artifacts, telling the story of the book that shaped the West to the nation's capital. But you'd think he'd gored the media's prized ox. Last week The New York Times called the Museum of the Bible "a safe space for Christian nationalists."
