      America is an increasingly secularizing society but the religious right has really built a stranglehold of power in the commanding heights of the courts and one of the 2 major parties. Tensions on this are bound to increase.https://twitter.com/EoinHiggins_/status/1376679846961635328 …

      Part of what is driving the evangelicals is they want to stack the courts with sympathizers to entrench Christian domination in an age when Church membership is in decline.https://twitter.com/EoinHiggins_/status/1376679846961635328 …

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          The white evangelical party has won the popular vote once since 1988 in a presidential election. The ability to enact Christian nationalist policy despite declining religiosity fits with the Senate being unrepresentative, gerrymandering, and other mechanisms of minority rule

          I don't think it has much to do with declining religious belief. It's driven by everything that drives extreme conservatives allied with what used to be called "the prosperity Gospel." It's primarily Southern & often racist & has very little to do with what Jesus actually taught.

          Then these same fine folk claim they are facing religious persecution as Christians.

          Horror show. Everyone should demand ‘separation of church and state’ from every elected official

          this parallels the gun industry's (and its lobby's) need to get shrinking numbers of Americans to buy more and to buy more profitable guns & accessories since the rate of ownership declines

          At least this, being solely motivated by money, is potentially co-opted. The other seems more a culture war.
