The Rise of Christian Fascism and Its Threat to American Democracy

He compares Christian right wingers to the Nazis and their church in social agenda.

There are many perspectives about religion; I agree with the assessment that no perspective is entitled to instigate attacks on our nation from within or without.

FWIW, As far as I'm concerned, I was born on this side, and I like it here.

It would appear to be quite popular these days to make sport of Christians and their beliefs.
