When politicians invoke religion to justify and inform their actions and policies you can see authoritarianism rearing its obscene and ugly face. Tho two are indivisible, the one the handmaiden of the other. Its no accident that when religion was at its zenith was the dark ages and it wielded merciless totalitarian power and woe betide anyone who challenged its premises and principles as they would be subject to the most barbaric and inhuman punishments and death.
Now religion is invoked by sociopaths and scoundrels like Trump and Kavanagh -both serial abusers of women who want to tell them how they should live their lives, what they can and cannot do with their bodies, claiming that their womb is the property of the state not their own. If miscreants, sexual deviants and bad ass psychos like the above get to rule and use religion to justify their arbitrary dictats America will become another dysfunctional theocracy with mad Conservative mullahs dictating women's reproductive cycles and lives, a dark age mystical priest ridden tyranny.
Why would the religious right ally with a boasting sexual offender like Trump? Because they are Christian fascists who use force and faith as social control.
America was founded on a separation of Church and State and those who seek to join them back together again are profoundly anti American and in criminal violation of constitutional rights. They are now back with a vengeance and they need to be fought or as we have seen in recent judicial developments re abortion America will be lost and become a Christian Iran.
