Evolution, for example, ruffled feathers not just because or even primarily because it struck at the religious origin story in detail...details which were always up for grabs throughout christian history - but because it assaulted the white supremacy baked into western christianity.
On that note, I always thought African Americans had a much better idea of what Christianity was supposed to be than white Christians. Actually not sure why white people even bother with Christianity, doesn't seem like the right religion for them.
