Have I got a book for you! Hoo, boy! Everybody needs to read this:
"Kingdom Coming, The Rise of Christian Nationalism" by Michelle Goldberg is a biting exposé of the politicization of Christian fundamentalism. It chronicles the saga of how the Moral Majority became the proactive political machine it is today. Have you noticed that:
~Sex Ed has become a lot less educational than it used to be?
~Evolution has started to be called "Darwinism," and "Creationism" is now referred to as "Intelligent Design?"
With chapters titled "The Faith-Based Gravy Train," and "No Man, No Problem: The War on the Courts," Ms Goldberg is not cutting the fundies any slack.
I think everyone must read this book. If you are a non-Christian, it will scare the youknow out of you. If you are a Christian, you need to know how your beliefs are being used against you and against all of us.
We are about one Supreme Court Justice away from being plunged into "The Handmaid's Tale."
Read this book. And then do something about it.
