Reading #WildFaith by @swordsjew.bsky.social and wow! Enlightening book. I’d love to go into detail (the chapter about authoritarian parenting knocked me out!) but that would be oversharing. Also, I had never fully considered why some of my friends in 1970s vanished to “Christian Academies,” 1

"Wild Faith: How the Christian right is taking over America" by Talia Lavin

I just finished #reading this #book: #WildFaith by #TaliaLavin.
It was really good, infuriating, interesting & depressing. Everyone should #read it.
I'm informed enough that there were no big surprises in the book. Me reading it is just preaching to the choir, unfortunately.
#ReadingIsSexy #Booksky

A screenshot of the Politico Exclusive headline: "State tells employees to report on one another for 'anti-Christian bias" A link to the article is in the comments.

And what will be deemed anti-Christian? Everything street preachers have yelled for decades: LGBTQIA+ rights. No-Fault Divorce. Birth Control. Abortions. Pàlèstìnìàn's right to LIVE. Free speech.

Read @swordsjew.bsky.social 's #wildfaith for a list. Our parents taught us this was always the plan.

Last night my library came thru with #WildFaith by @swordsjew.bsky.social at last, and I was able to binge the second half. This story could have been from one (the ex-wife) of her contributors. Chilling.

Well, here we go. #wildfaith brought to #Americans by #vanillaISIS and their savoir #TheAyatollahComplaini, thanks @jimmykimmel.com #theocracy is on the move and the #theblackbags are next. @runforsomething.net

Outside the womb, you're on your own kid. That's where the advocating stops. In fact, no free handouts, not even food so you can learn at school. Because it's not about life, it's about mass producing bodies to do their labor & fight their wars.

@swordsjew.bsky.social I don't know what I'm enjoying more, the way you pronounced Geraldo's name or your Geraldo voice, but I needed it after.the story of the Kellers #WildFaith

@swordsjew.bsky.social I’m enjoying reading #WildFaith a lot! I watched the Geraldo special you mentioned and am listening to This Present Darkness on my commute (it’s a hoot. Better than the Left Behind series so far). Are there any other examples you recommend as supplementary material?

@swordsjew.bsky.social I downloaded your book #WildFaith & started listening last night & haven’t stopped. It’s so great - your research & storytelling are phenomenal! Also, your voice is incredibly soothing even when speaking about the horrors. Thank you!!

It’s here! @swordsjew.bsky.social

here's me doing the Keep Sweet Christian Advice Lady voice in #wildfaith

finished #WildFaith by Talia Lavin (@swordsjew.bsky.social) honestly it is a brilliant book. It is also horrifying. What is worse is the playbook is being used in Australia. Buy the book and if you are an Aussie realise how far that reach is in our country. #auspol #qldelection

Just finished #WildFaith by Talia Lavin ( @swordsjew.bsky.social )
Very good, sobering and a bit terrifying.

Preordered #wildfaith from @swordsjew.bsky.social. pretty excited to get into this one.

Have my copy of #WildFaith in hand! Cracking into it tonight who’s reading it with me? @swordsjew.bsky.social www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

Enjoying @swordsjew.bsky.social's book #WildFaith.

As an atheist that was surrounded by Christianity growing up, this felt like an important perspective and research to digest.
