"the one thing that matters more than anything else"

As you well know, if you've been reading this blog long, I'm no theist. But there are many theists I like and many I respect and some (I can't "like" you if I don't know you) I do both. Fred at Slacktivist I don't know, but I'd be proud to. And I do respect him, though he's an evangelical Christian. If most (even more) Christians were like him, this world would be a much better place, and American atheists would be a lot less angry. At any rate, today he addresses two issues:

the "mosk" business on Facebook and ... [his] Google news alert for "evangelical," which turned up a few dozen variations of the same story/column/post about Glenn Beck.

Whoever you are, I recommend you read his whole post. Here's a paragraph to whet your appetite:

Let's just consider one of those failing institutions here: the church. That whole string of Facebook postings is an aggressively hostile assertion of religious hegemony -- specifically of the kind of godandcountry religious hegemony advocated by American evangelical Protestants. I don't know how many of these posters think of themselves as "Christians," but let's be clear: If any of these people attend a Christian church, then that church has failed them. Utterly. That church has failed to teach them the one thing that matters more than anything else.
