Opinion | When Churches Cancel Their Own
  + stars: | 2024-06-14 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:Re “The Day My Old Church Canceled Me,” by David French (column, June 10):Mr. French’s discussion of the day his church canceled him is a stunning exposition of the extreme polarization in our society. What has happened to the right to think differently, to disagree and to engage in reasoned discourse? To the Editor:I enjoy reading David French’s thoughtful columns even though I, an atheist, don’t always agree with him. He has helped teach me to keep my heart open to those I might consider political opponents. So I was heartbroken to read his recent piece about the attacks and abandonment his family suffered at their former church.

Opinion | Give Me Liberty or Give Me … What?
  + stars: | 2024-04-21 | by ( Carlos Lozada | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
If the American experiment finally decides to call it quits, how might a national breakup begin? Perhaps California moves toward secession after the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the state’s strict gun control measures. Or Texas rebels when disputes over abortion laws grow deadly and the state’s National Guard remains loyal to the second Texan republic. These scenarios are not of my own creation; they all appear in recent nonfiction books warning of an American schism. We never learn exactly who or what started the new American civil war, or what ideologies, if any, are competing for power.

Opinion | Donald Trump and Christian Nationalism
  + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Pretending that Christian enthusiasm for Donald Trump is just some kind of mass psychosis or mob mentality may allow some Christians like Mr. French to feel better about themselves and their churches. But they need to confront a deeper truth: There is something compromised at the core of the white American Christian tradition. Mr. Trump is amoral and irreligious. The only explanation is that Mr. Trump and evangelicals have a symbiotic relationship that puts both in positions of power and influence. Andrew J. SparbergOceanside, N.Y.To the Editor:This column reminded me of when Donald Trump said: “I consider it a great badge of honor.
