Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez

4.0

The rage this book made me feel on multiple occasions and the realization that my break with the church in the late 2000s was a direct correlation with the corruption and blatant hypocrisy surrounding the church at the time when it reneged on all of the teachings I was raised into.

Bottom line is there are good people of faith, but the institution of the Christian (and Catholic for that matter) church is corrupt to its core, and their backing of politicians financially is a direct failure of separation of church and state and they should immediately be paying taxes. All of the churches.

I will raise my children to be good humans and I won’t be asking for the predatory church system to aid me in that.
