What does that mean "Republican states"? Because there are riots in Ferguson in a state of Missouri where the current governor is Mike Parson who is a republican; there are protests in West Palm in Florida which is under Republican governor Ron DeSantis; there are protests in Charleston in South Carolina which is under republican Governor Henry McMaster.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
