In his article "How Politics Poisoned the Evangelical Church", Tim Alberta writes that he's spent his life "watching evangelicalism morph from a spiritual disposition into a political identity. It's heartbreaking."
Alberta, staff writer at The Atlantic, talks with host Anthony Brooks about how right-wing politics is creating divisions inside the evangelical church and what that means for culture and politics outside the church.

We need to push religion further and further away from politics. I don't want anybody's god influencing laws and rights in this country.

Why? Hillary lost because she ignored rural white working America . Evangelicals oppose her because she favored abortion, gay marriage, socialism etc. There have always been those who use the pulpit as a place of personal aggrandizement, you would know this if you read your Bible. I personally think it was unconstitutional of the government to shut down churches. There is always a war in Churches,bowing to the spirit of the age or the truth of God’s word. It is interesting how liberals trash Christians then at election time they rush out to tell you how your faith is wrong because some left wing pastor believes such and such and if you follow the Bible you are in error because of bla bla bla.

LTC (Join to see) - not really, these church’s are mainly independent, traditional denominations are in decline. There is no set dogma that defines evangelical Church’s.

But they sold their souls to a clown that uses a Bible as a prop while beating his opposition back.
I don’t remember Jesus ever doing that (of course no Bible).
