Living in the Shadow of the Cross" - Paul Kivel's WARNING about Too Much Christianity in the US. @ Alternet -
http://www.alternet.org/books/christian-policies-saturate-us-what-can-we-do-about-it
"Christian Policies Saturate the U.S.--What Can We do About It?
"Living in the Shadow of the Cross" explains how to understand and resist the power and privilege of Christian hegemony.
"I define Christian hegemony as the everyday, systematic set of Christian values, individuals and institutions that dominate all aspects of US society. Nothing is unaffected.
Christian dominance is a complex and shifting system that benefits all Christians, those raised Christian and those passing as Christian. However, the concentration of power and wealth accumulates to a predominantly Christian power elite. All others experience exploitation and constant vulnerability to violence."
"Another level of Christian dominance comes from the power elite, those who control the largest and most powerful institutions in the US. The Koch brothers (combined net worth $43 billion), Rupert Murdoch (over $8 billion), the Walton Family (combined net worth over $90 billion) and the Council for National Policy exert this kind of power."
Yes, we must BEWARE those 'Christian' Koch Brothers ! /sarc
Is the author of this screed on Alternet, Jewish ? Paul Kivel, I mean.
