Will, this is a powerful and cogent exploration of this faux crisis. I'm a devout Christian, and my observation--beyond the obvious power consolidation you write about here--is that the pushback from the culture isn't about Jesus (or Yahweh!) but about the hateful, small-minded beliefs and practices driving many away from faith. The same things manifested by this group trying to use government power to shore up their privilege, and their hateful beliefs. Thank you for this.
I like your use of power consolidation. This rerm describes their tactics well. If the same amount of energy was being invested in simply sharing Jesus, that could be amazing. Thank you for pointing out the truth. Looking forward to #3.
