Snippet: On the "Religionization" of Politics

Snip·pet | ˈsnipit | noun a small piece or brief extract.

Here’s one from “It’s Time for a New Era of Christian Civility” by Alexandra Hudson in Christianity Today.

“The ‘religionization’ of politics has led many believers to elevate political stances to the level of doctrinal orthodoxy—such that they become litmus tests for Christian identity. This, in turn, has led to us publicly question the faith of those who have differing views from us and to reduce complex individuals to political caricatures.”

This is so true, and no respector of sides in our political debates and alignments.
