God is the great alienator? Interesting.
No, you have it wrong. The evangelical far right wacks are the great alienator. They do not represent God.
They represent those who believe in God. The suggestion is made that if you believe in God than you are mucking things up because God causes you to not believe in climate change! God causes you to seek to live your life according to His Will and that apparently annoys some people who choose not to seek God. Seriously. Where's the tolerance, the embrace of diversity?
The message here is that a group of voters are dismissed because they pray. Don't discuss issues with them! Just declare yourself alienated! What's next? Crying and stomping your feet? It's almost as though you feared them.
