"Fugelsang made it a lot easier for me to accept that a relatively small number of zealots who don't actually practice what Jesus taught are largely responsible for these margins."
"When the president has already sent unaccountable masked goons to murder American citizens in the streets, what's yet another display of distasteful idolatry on the internet?"
Fugelsang's 'Separation of Church and Hate' offers a personal narrative that reflects on the challenges of being raised Catholic. The book's relevance is heightened by recent political events, particularly Trump's controversial remarks about the pope. Despite abandoning Catholicism, the author empathizes with those offended by Trump's actions. The book helps contextualize the voting patterns of religious groups in the 2016 election, illustrating how a minority of zealots can influence broader political outcomes. It encourages understanding rather than resentment towards the religious community.
