American Christians are confused about the future. The most certain and vocal of them tend to espouse values antithetical to those of Jesus: intolerance, refusal to extend a helping hand to the least and an apparent willingness to throw stones. Declining mainline religion is silent now. American Muslims seem happy with a robust, regular practice. Or not. I suspect fundamentalism is the greatest burden religious folk must bear, more prevalent among Christians than their Islamic brothers and sisters. I suspect that the tragicomedy of the coming electoral season will loosen a substantial number of fundamentalists from their shaky moorings.
