I want to take seriously the spirituality of those outside the church and outside the category of religious faith and belief."

@wdlindsy this article is delusional. There’s no mention of abortion. It doesn’t hint at the Christian supremacy that’s rampant in our politics. He pretends to understand the cruelty of the anti-gay and anti-trans hysteria but he doesn’t come close.
He’s welcome to understand my “spirituality” but I don’t think he’s going to like what he sees
@barryparr I see no reason to discount his report, which is based on sound empirical evidence, that people are leaving churches in large numbers. I would think not a few of those leaving feel profound alienation, and I think his point about the need of church members to try to understand that anger and alienation is a good one. I don’t find it in the least delusional.
@wdlindsy GOP is working hard to make their warped version of "Christianity" the national religion, and it wouldn't surprise me to see them succeed in the long term.
@Jgmeadows I think they already have succeeded to a great extent. And as they've done so, Christians who know that what the GOP is selling as Christianity is distorted and dangerous bear a lot of responsibility for not speaking out — though the question is how to do so when over half of white US Christians voted twice for Donald Trump.
