Contemporary christians have been going through a crisis of faith, refusing to be as shitty to their own as they insist we must be to others. Like some jewish shaman once suggested, they'll stand as their own prosecution come the day of judgement.
Well I have to say I don't personally feel it's that much like that in our country (Britain)... I may be wrong but Christianity is pretty marginal here I'd say, and doesn't have much affect on legislation. The picture painted of the US is bleak, and tbh I wouldn't want to live there on account of it, like if in the US people don't stand much chance of getting into office unless they're a Christian, in the UK it's nothing like that... Christian politicians (or at least 'out' ones) are or at least seem to be in the minority. In other words there doesn't seem to be anywhere near the level of Christian lobbying in the UK as there is in America. But yeah, I am really sorry that it is the case for you guys that religion does have so much sway in your country. The oppression it leads to is a horrible thought.
