"The divine is always invoked to conquer, to exclude, to strip away the humanity of others. ...

This is America’s problem. We imagine fundamentalism as the product of religion alone, but in truth it is about power. It thrives in systems that punish dissent and demand obedience. It flourishes where inequality is already deep, where racism already wounds."

"The gun becomes holy; violence is celebrated as sacrament; scripture appears only to bless white entitlement and empire. And somehow, the divine is always invoked to conquer, to exclude, to strip away the humanity of others."

"Whether it calls itself Christian nationalism or Zionism, the fruit is the same: oppression disguised as divine order.

Christian nationalism, in particular, is theater. Fear of the stranger is the script. The Gospels are props—quoted when convenient, discarded when not."

"And he said, we lost control in our own country. Radicalized Shintoism merged with our state in the 1930s. And we invaded China and we bombed Pearl Harbor. We see it happening in your country now, but it’s not Shintoism, it is Christianity."

"In history, in world history, whenever a radicalized version of any religious faith merges with the power of the state, particularly that part that wages war, we do not end up with little ponds, creeks, and streams — we end up with oceans and oceans of blood. Anyway this reporter from Japan said, we are looking at what’s happening in America and your fight, the fight that you’re doing."

"This situation [the melding of aggressive right-wing Christianity with Trump's fascist regime after Charlie Kirk's shooting] reminds me of a conversation I had a while ago with a Japanese reporter who came to talk to me years ago.

"This is a movement, the MAGA movement, that is flailing. They are highly unpopular. riddled with scandals. Everywhere you look, there's a scandal. So they really need to change the narrative. And they're hoping that people will be dumb enough to believe that these corrupt and crooked people who are destroying our country are somehow Christians."
