text: "That's a warped version of Christianity."
  
  Religious authoritarians everywhere are a menace to democracy and peaceful co-existence. ISIS is but the most extreme manifestation.
  
  In the wake of Charlottesville not one member of Trump's Evangelical Council has resigned. Corporate fat cats acted with more moral principle, however calculated, than Christians. Good luck to the 400 dissociating authoritarianism and racial animus from white American Christianity. We need look no further than the conservatives on this forum, so offended by any suggestion that racism is a persistent evil in the United States, to get a sense of how how tough that row is to hoe.
  
  White Christians put Trump in power and despite Trump's appalling tenure thus far continue to support him.  It's striking evidence that the prerogatives of the religious right are first and foremost theocratic. And if white supremacy is part of the bargain, apparently for Trump supporters that's a feature, not a bug.
