Agree about the distorted Christianity of the MAGAts. I call them Christianists (I can't claim ownership of that, I just read it somewhere) who believe in Christianism, an ideology for gaining political power. Jesus NEVER taught about or sought political power.

Jonathan Rauch's latest book is "Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy". It's about Christians who are uniting the teachings of Jesus Christ with those of James Madison. Here's a short vid: youtube.com/watch?v=oBH….

Rather than condemning them publicly, which only makes them more resolute in their hatred of liberals, I'd like to see Christians who are liberal small-d democrats promote this idea that the values and practices taught in the Gospel are, as Rauch puts it, a load bearing wall in our democracy. Lead by example.
