A Republican running for reelection to Congress in Colorado recently told a Christian congregation: “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.”
The words of Rep. Lauren Boebert, who beat back a primary challenge last week, may appear inconsequential in Florida. But foolish are those who dismiss her as just a right-wing fanatic.
There is a concerted effort to blur the line between religion and state and interpret the history of the United States through a conservative Christian lens that whitewashes our past of slavery and segregation.
