    Interesting take. Russia doesn’t count? As I understand it, most of the power rests with the Russian Orthodox church. Not just in terms of land ownership, but also social norms. (e.g. anti-lgbt sentiment) Do I have that wrong?

        Well either way I think it’s more of a reclamation than descendence. USA was founded on protestantism. Still, something else is different. I think before it was true believers whereas now it is more just opportunist dynastic hegemony. I don’t feel like cristofascist captures all that.

            Nah. You’re missing a lot from afar it seems. The factual history is that the religious voting bloc was targeted by opportunists. There is no question about that, it is documented history.
