The New York Times published an op-ed Friday that blamed evangelical Christians for the coronavirus pandemic.
The argument, by journalist and author Katherine Stewart, is that because religious voters supported Trump, that means he governs without regard for science.
Stewart also claims that Republicans, more than Democrats, are likely to deny science.
In her op-ed, titled “The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved by Evangelicals,” she writes:
Donald Trump rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown.
At least since the 19th century, when the proslavery theologian Robert Lewis Dabney attacked the physical sciences as “theories of unbelief,” hostility to science has characterized the more extreme forms of religious nationalism in the United States.
She then goes on to provide several quotes from pastors who pushed back against the idea of closing their churches.

she fits in then, the democrats booed God and Israel (and the Boy Scouts) at their convention some time ago.
Obama was either an atheist or a closet Muslim. He can’t be both.
Sometimes I wonder if my teenage son is an alien.
Does Nasty Pelosi believe in science? She’s Catholic, or so she says.
Well, there you are. Those Jooos! are spreading the plague with witchcraft again, then trying to deflect the blame. Every three hundred years or so, the same thing. Passover is coming. Keep your little ones in sight./s
And this is why I don’t subscribe or read the Gnu Yak Times.
I didn’t start this.
Just pointing out, a possible, motivation.
Why is she attaching Christians?
ginning up leftist hate everywhere. Weimar Republic here we come and NYT and leftist media are the midwives.
it isn’t about truth it is about winding up their followers. there is nothing rational about the Left except to foster hate.
You are arguing that she is wrong.
In propaganda wrong does not matter
what matters is getting the message that is wanted out.
Probably a JINO. There are a lot of them out there.
Obama was a fan of Islamic control but he didn’t believe in any of it, not even when he was a child raised by 2 muslim fathers.
His mother was agnostic and his grandparents were Unitarians. He certainly wasn’t a Christian. I don’t recognize the hateful bigot ex-mulsim Jermiah Wright as a Christian.
Obama’s “conversion” was a political choice
I wonder if we will have to put the blood above the door frame?
Any bets on when they will call for us to sew yellow crosses on our clothes.

She’s full of crap.. Scientist here (nuke physics), christian, and a Trump voter wh believes in FACTS...not hyperbolic misinformation. I once remember hearing someone say “when science finally crosses over the peak of knowledge, they will fin God was there all along.”
Idiot leftists deny science. They deny that the unborn baby is no different in the womb and out of the womb, that there are two sexes as determined in the chromosomes.
What utter BS. Just look at the hotspot New York. Did they ever disinfect the subways?
Not only is her date of birth unknown, so is her high school. She didn't get a degree from anywhere or you can rest assured that information would be on her website and in Wikipedia. We need to know what high school credentialed her.
“Stewart also claims that Republicans, more than Democrats, are likely to deny science.”
Does anyone know of anyone who denies science? Doesn’t use modern technology, doesn’t go to the doctor, etc?
This concept of denying science is propaganda put out by the leftists to describe anyone who doesn’t submit to their agenda. If you deny climate change (their narrative), you are denying science.
“Do you think the NYT realizes how idiotic they sound?”
Of course not. Liberals always think they are right.
