How pathetically shallow your reading of the OP's article is. I can only assume it is because you did not read it.
I say this because you are off topic yet you wield your tribal zeal like a weapon to bludgeon the OP with.
Not surprising, because the OP's article is likely about... you. And many others with whom you would associate.
NOT because you are a "Liberal". Rather, it is because you are human. Tribal, zealous, make-believe. It is our way. I say you due to our fixation on politics. We are here in P&N after all.
The topic is about how we are associating and dividing and hating the "other". All "others". Anyone who does not goose step the way we goose step. Anyone who does not go to the same church to learn the same exact social cues for tribal identity. Such it is in Religion, it is in Politics. Because that is just how humans behave and, by and large, there is no escaping our nature.
The sins of Religion are becoming the sins of political parties and movements.
I asked Alex Clare-Young, a nonbinary minister in the United Reformed Church, whether their faith or their gender was more surprising to Generation Z acquaintances. “I think probably being religious,” Clare-Young responded. “I know a lot of LGBTQ+ young people who say it’s harder to come out as Christian in an LGBT space than LGBT in a Christian space.”
Politics has now crept into every aspect of our lives. In countries where racial and religious intermarriage have become commonplace, dating across political lines is the new taboo.
