This weekend, the World Congress of Families (WCF) meets in Moldova for their annual conference. The conference will include panels on gender identity, faith and politics, motherhood, anti-abortion efforts, and George Soros, among others. The intermarriage between far-right politics and religious positions is obvious and unsurprising. What may be less obvious is how this brings together Christian fundamentalists, alt-right activists, and Russian interests.

Whoops. Did I say "white supremacist"? I'm sorry. Of course I meant to use the politically correct term "alt-right" to avoid triggering conservatives and libertarians (who are totally different, I swear!)

Anyway, this seems like as good a time as any to remind everyone that Christians are statistically more likely to be racist than atheists. Not that I would suggest this counts as supporting evidence. Complaining about racism in any way, shape, or form tends to get certain people angry and defensive.

The inquisition is what you get when the religious mentality gets power.

They want to kill the people that tell them they are deluded, not persuade them.

There is no rational persuasion that could get somebody to believe a human rose from the dead after being crucified 2000 years ago and we are supposed to worship him.

You either abandon reason and believe it.

Or you maintain reason, knowing the nature of humans and also knowing the many such stories from the time, and reject it.

Is that really so? Christianity has never been in a weaker position in the politics of my nation, and we just elected a Hitler fanboy to the White House.

They seem to be doing pretty well.

See, the Christians are doing pretty well. They control all three branches of the federal government right now. I wouldn't call that a weak position. Just look at appointees like Jeff Sessions, Betsy DeVos, and Kavanaugh. Might as well have Pat Robertson in the White House.

?? How did you measure that in order to decide to believe it?

By having the majority of Christians vote for him.

Trump isn't Christian. He worships Trump. If it was Christians who put him in office, then Christians are changing.

Not their choice, though. If that bloc had any real power, we'd have a president Huckabee right now. Trump is no Christian and they know it, they voted for him because they think he's better than having a Democrat in office.
