(9,958 posts)Opus Dei and the Dominionists come to mind. There was an article in the NYT some months ago about Josh Hawley and his Christian nationalist beliefs. They have a lot of money behind them through organizations like the Federalist Society. The scary part is that we also have a Supreme Court majority that believes in Christian domination and privilege. If theres a way, they may twist their originalist crap into saying the First Amendment does authorize the US as a Christian nation with laws derived from the Bible because most of the Founders followed some form of Christianity. They are already privileging the Christian religion by giving them the right to ignore federal laws on discrimination against LGBTQ. Giving a corporation the right of Christian belief (Hobby Lobby), allowing it to deny only its female workers of their right to birth control through the same insurance that men have was also privileging an entity that exists only on paper. By not separating the corporate form of organization from the beliefs of those holding the stock of that corporation, the Court essentially gave corporations the right to opt out of federal law just by claiming religious beliefs.
And theyre poised to enact the Christian belief that life begins at conception and abortion must be illegal in all situations by overturning Roe. These people will not stop until we have a race war on top of a religious war.
