Subject: Re: Genesis of Christian Nationalism
A quote from the article included in my second post in this thread: "The NAR helped popularize the concept that Christians should conquer the seven spheres of society: family, religion, government, arts and entertainment, business, education and media."

According to this, the NAR advocates for one flavor of religion dominating in all of these realms, including both religion and government in general.
One thing that strikes me about this is that the NAR's 'seven mountains' of society fail to include science.


onepoorguy: US policy in particular is often shaped by positions/doctrines on religion. I don't think it's possible to draw a bright line between US policy and religion.

I presume my error was to mention the names of the two candidates in the current election, which I did without expressing a preference for either one. Okay ... my bad.

I, for one, am incensed by any group that seeks to exploit our commonly shared government in order to impose unconfirmable beliefs and often despicable biases upon all who are subject to that government, including me and my family, under threat of violence.

Manlobbi, please let me know if you regard my expression of that disdain as political.
