Thread: The primary weapon of far-right elites is weaponized fundamentalist Christianity. They bombard less-educated fundamentalists with lies so that they don't understand that millions of ppl are center-left Christians.
Right now, they are the Democratic leaders, in fact.

Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are the most powerful Democrats in America. And they are believing Christians.
But because they follow Jesus's admonition to practice faith privately, unlike the Pharisee Republicans, lots of people don't know that Christians are welcome on the left.

Right now, their voices are critical. One person doing this so well is my friend @MalyndaHale. Please follow her. I'll link her podcast next.

Her show #WeNeedToTalk is a great resource for Christians feeling out of place in today's world. Here's the Apple Podcast page for it: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wen…
In particular, I recommend @MalyndaHale's latest episode, a discussion with @johnpavlovitz about being progressive and Christian.

If you are a progressive non-theist, I also recommend her show because it can help you understand that even though reactionary Christianity is toxic, there are a lot of people who are religious who support tolerance and inclusion, and don't want to outsource govt to the church.

In fact, liberal and moderate Christians are the first targets. So join with progressive Jews and non-theists to stand up! /end
