Politics is becoming our new religion. God help us
Not long ago, the religious right was the bugaboo of the American left. Whether it was the Moral Majority in the 1980s or the Christian Coalition in the 1990s, Democrats warned of a right-wing theocracy if churchgoing Republicans seized the levers of power.
The good news for secular types is that this once-powerful voting bloc is hard to find these days. That s also the bad news.
You might not have liked the Christian right, but you re really going to hate the post-Christian right.
I hate it already.
