Trump closed his remarks with a pledge “to bring back religion to America, because without borders, law and order and religion, you really don’t have a country anymore.” The slogan of fascist Italy was more concise: Dio, Patria, Famiglia.

    It’s not the whole of Christianity, but it’s an infection that’s spread through a lot of it.

    I used to volunteer at PFLAG where a pastor who also volunteered there was sponsoring a refugee into the country. At a different point in my life I drank with a man who was very vocal about how supportive his pastor wife was of his bisexuality. Hell my childhood catholic priest told my father to quit being a bigot about me being trans.

    I struggle to trust any given Christian, and part of the problem we face is the privileged position Christianity holds in society, but there are Christians resisting the evil. There are progressive protestants opening their doors to all people and catholic workers martyring themselves for leftist causes even today.
