<<<<What are some of the “Religionist ideas” that are destroying the GOP? <<<<<<
For starters, the insistence that the GOP and conservatism are functions and derivatives of the Bible and Protestant Christianity.
Conversely, that one must be an avowed Protestant Christian (even an Evangelical Christian!) to be a conservative or a supporter of Republicans.
These ideas cannot be swallowed by, and are repellent to, large numbers of otherwise conservative Americans.
So in addition to the job of supporting the GOP platform, Republicans must also carry the weight of a religion.
That’s twice the political burden of the Rats, who must only support the single political program of Socialism Lite.
This is the first time I've EVER read this even suggested by anyone. What tripe!
