For those who (like me) are not religious and never have been, it may be difficult to appreciate the depth and breadth of what I’m talking about above. Through family and friends, I’ve seen both the right-wing and anti-fascist wings of Christianity up close. Both are real, both are •large•, and…yeah, like it or not, this is one of the primary battlegrounds of our society.
(And no, sorry, dogmatic atheists, blanket sneering at religion will protect your personal morality; just look at the human dumpster fire that Richard Dawkins has become.)
