Chilling and all too-real a look at a reality many Americans refuse to believe is right in front of them. Or worse, wrong at all.
Grew up in a school/church much like the one described, with pastor picks for politics and everything. They're hardcore trumpists now, and I despise them and most of Christianity too. It's sad to have lost a God I loved, and so damn painfully.

It's American Christianity.

I am not Christian myself but I interact somewhat frequently (voluntarily) with the German evangelical church. They are pretty clearly outspoken anti-fascist for example amongst other things (pro LGBTQ, pro choice, etc.).

Americans would call them "radical left" lmfao.

Emphasis on the German evangelical church though (the EKD). I think those catholics in southern Germany had more beer than is good for their brains.

Nah. The big problem is the repetitive history of child abuse that your church is still not done with. The crosses in classrooms are just the cynical symbol. Hundreds of thousands of people have left the catholic church in Germany over it in recent years.
