The thing that's particularly disturbing to me about the direction U.S religion has taken is, if there's any one thing you could point to and say this is what's good about it, it's how it brings people together in community. Yet the way religion has been playing out over recent years has been to divide, disrupt, and generally incinerate any sense of communal & civic inclusivity.
Not saying it's unique in the history of sectarianism, but wow is it depressing. @memeorandum https://universeodon.com/@memeorandum/115788293291176311
