I had not heard of Metaxas. A former lifelong evangelical/fundamentalist, I have stepped totally away and am now an atheist. When I read the ugly, angry, hateful rhetoric coming out of the Christian Right in the age of Trump (well said), I feel heartsick. Metaxas and his ilk should be ashamed of the way they pervert their faith, but of course they're not. I despair.

Peace.
