"The Religious Right Carries Its Golden Calf Into Steve Bannon's Battles," Michael Gerson

Excerpt: Gerson (writes) that an alliance between conservative Christians and those who exclude others and show bias will influence how the public views Christianity. “They are associating the teachings of Jesus Christ… with ethno-nationalist ideology,” Gerson wrote. “This should be a sobering prospect for any Christian. But few seem sobered. Instead, the faithful give standing ovations to the purveyors of division and prejudice.” To be sure, American intolerance, the religious right wing and mass media go back to the 1930s when Father Charles Coughlin preached as the Radio Priest. Coughlin targeted Jews. Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson (Fox’s prime-time lineup) target Muslims and Mexicans. The game is the same: attack a scapegoat, pander to fear and resentment.
