Remove the tax breaks and subsidies for those mega churches. They've become training grounds for fundamentalists determined to ruin the lives of all those who do not follow their dogma The world was forced to go to war against fundamentalists...But they were brown so the right wing demanded it!

Yes, they want to groom and then rape children. Christianity has been pushing for normalizing pedophilia for decades. Now their Messiah has been proven to be a pedophile and their final push is coming.

You want to make America normal again? Get rid of religion, esp christianity. Its one of the top 3 things ruining our democracy, along with greed & lack of compassion.

"Christian nationalism shares fascism’s emphasis on authoritarianism, strong centralized power, opposition to pluralism, and a perceived threat from minorities or outsiders."

"Christian nationalism is a politicized and exclusivist ideology that uses Christianity for nationalistic purposes but does not represent the full faith or teachings of Christianity itself."

I’m not sure that’s a healthy way to look at theology, as every faith will have many schisms, and you’ll end up have to start deciding which ones are “real”. Makes more sense to me to just say they are really shitty Christians and be done with it.
