Dear "Christians" who supported Trump,

You don't get to lecture anyone on a goddamn thing.

Absolutely.

The right-wing version of Christians (I differentiate) have long looked at atheists as their enemy.  I'm an atheist, and, while I don't think all Christians are bad and figure most of 'em got into it with good intentions, I would be happy to see mankind outgrow the need for the fairytales.   But, I and other atheists would never be able to destroy the religion.

But, we don't need to.  The right-wing version of Christians are doing that to themselves.  When you take a philosophy that's supposed to be about love and tolerance and acceptance, and you use it to create divisions and enforce them, and to label groups as enemies... then you start the clock on that religion's lifespan.  They're already losing the millennial generation because of this bigotry... and that Nashville Letter is just another coup de grace.  I see a lot of churches are denouncing it, out of self-preservation if not sincerity, but it's kind of futile at this point.  Christianity is far gone from what it used to be.  If it were really a philosophy about love and kindness, few would have anything to complain about regarding it.  But, they tossed that aside for political power, and that's poisoning 'em.

Faith in govt is worse than any religion... except maybe radical Islam.
