The root of the discord lies in the fact that many Christians have embraced the worst aspects of our culture and our politics. When the Christian faith is politicized, churches become repositories not of grace but of grievances, places where tribal identities are reinforced, where fears are nurtured, and where aggression and nastiness are sacralized. The result is not only wounding the nation; it’s having a devastating impact on the Christian faith.
I don't really believe any of this will actually change anytime soon and I suspect it will only continue to get worse & worse. After all, while I am not a man of god or religion, from what I've observed, nothing turns people into assholes quicker than believing they have “God” on their side.
