Default Christian Right is the most dangerous mass movement in US histor

This article by Chris Hedges, who graduated from seminary at Harvard Divinity School and worked for many years as a foreign correspondent for The New York Times, warns that the Christian Right is the most dangerous mass movement in American history.

This article is so close to the bone, equating christian right with fascism, that I can't wait to hear the objections. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My point is clearly relevant. Way to contribute to the thread.

To most of the other ACists credit, like pvn and Shake, they stopped hijacking threads in this manner a while ago. I realize you're new to the club so you may feel some kind of obligation to demonstrate you're a true believer, but I'm certain they'll still give you a jacket and a membership card if you don't do this.

While I'm no fan of the Christian right, this article sounds a little like fear-mongering. I suppose if you were to ask Hidges, he might even agree -- I suspect he'd claim he's trying to send out a warning call or something.

Someone a little more cynical, like me for instance, may instead say he's trying to sell some books.
