The white evangelical schism
The Los Angeles Times reports on the growing factional battle within the white evangelical churches between the fossils who want to covert Christianity into a sexual-purity cult, with a dash of economic conservatism and authoritarian politics, and those who think that Christianity might have something to do with the Sermon on the Mount.
It seems obvious to me that the battle is good news for Democrats, that it would be even better news if the good guys won, and that anything that helps them win improves our chances of winning elections from here on out. It also seems obvious that offering Democratic candidates who aren't religiously tone-deaf, and having people identified as Democrats abstain from rude and bigoted remarks about other people's religious beliefs, would help the good guys win.
