Mark Galli, the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, is retiring after 200 evangelical “leaders” condemned his call for Trump to resign.
Among them was Ralph Reed, Jack Abramoff’s Indian lobbying scandal partner, founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and “political influence merchant”.
“Sadly, political operatives have worked for 40 years to craft a “pro-family” and “pro-life” narrative that would persuade white religious voters that the Republican Party was their defender. While this strategy of religious mobilization was always about uniting white voters in a coalition that was not explicitly racist, it appealed to fears of white identity and the loss of cultural power associated with America’s growing diversity. By claiming to be about culture, not politics, this distorted moral narrative prepared the way for a Christianity that would not only tolerate Trumpism but also embrace it as a defense of faith.”
