Christian Nationalism: How Evangelical Christianity Became a Political Religion

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

5. LOL Good luck with that

The entire religion has a long history of being overtly political, so why tsk-tsk the evangelicals for doing what the religion has for literally centuries now?

I mean, really, did you miss how they hooked up with Constantine for more power--and to get their religion declared the sole official one of Rome?

Did you miss, well, all of European history? The wars that entire nations (political entities) fought in the name of that one religion? How that one religion had say over who became political rulers over nations, and even who they married? How their moronic taboos were enshrined into law (again, politics!)--and how they had the state (a political entity) carry out punishments on their behalf (INQUISITION, anyone?).

Or--hey--how about the fact that several European countries ***still*** have official state (read: political) religions?

So it's beyond hypocritical to gripe and moan about the evangelicals doing what the religion has done for 1700 years now.
