Darren Bailey wants to be governor of Illinois but sees no problem with textbooks teaching girls to submit to men.
Christian nationalism isn’t just about imposing religion on everyone. It’s about enforcing a social hierarchy where women know their place.
Whoa... In an interview, @MarkMaxwellTV asked IL GOP gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey about the patriarchal textbooks at his Christian school.
Bailey saw no problem with them. Then his staffer told Mark to wrap up the interview.
At the advocacy workshop for secular lobbying at #ffrfcon26 attorney and school board member Ryan Jayne gave some great advice: "If you know a representative is going to be on your side for an issue, come with a second ask!" ffrf.us/3U0AOyw
David Barton has built a career rewriting American history to advance Christian nationalism.
When a candidate for governor calls Barton “foundational” to his political journey, that should be where the journey ends.

Republicans have handed Dems a golden opportunity, if we're smart enough to see it. They fused Christian nationalism into the GOP, making it a rightwing Christians-only party - with some conservative Jews tolerated as long as they say "Judeo-Christian" and accept the MAGA variant of Christianity as our national religion. The rest of America wants nothing to do with creeping rightwing theocracy. They want separation of church and state, government neutrality on matters of faith, and true religious freedom - i.e., freedom of religion and freedom from religion. That's also what our Constitution guarantees. Dems are the party that reflects all of this but struggles to express it. If we find the courage to talk about real religious freedom, we'll be meeting the vast majority of voters right where they want their politicians to be.
Both parties face major problems when it comes to religion in the future.
The problem for the Republicans is that the vast majority of their base is white Christianity.
The white share of the population is in decline.
The Christian share of the population is in decline.
The Democrats' problem is that their coalition is a mish-mash of people with vastly different worldviews.
Atheists, Black Protestants, Muslims, Hispanic Catholics.
