Huge GOP meeting with Evangelicals in TX

[Jenny A]

Yes groups like that give me the willies, and the heebee jeebees too, but so did The Moral Majority, and various other groups. Whether atheists should be more politically active as a group is a complicated question though. Part of what drives extremism is the feeling of being under attack. And I don't want to drive even more extremism. What we are seeing a rise is extreme Christianity because Christianity is on it's way out. But if they actually took control of the country, it could be catastrophic---a sort of American Marxism or Nazism. Dangerous as hell. McCarthyism comes to mind.
