In denial of the West's civic-minded,
government-supporting heritage, evangelicals (and the rest of the
libertarian right) wound up defending private oil companies but not
God's creation, private cars instead of public transport, private
insurance conglomerates rather than government care of individuals. The
price for the religious right's wholesale idolatry of private everything
was that Christ's reputation was tied to a cynical political party
owned by billionaires. Today it's come to the point where people calling
themselves followers of Jesus are fighting AGAINST health care for all!
-- Frank Schaeffer, "Send the Bill for the Shutdown to the Religious Right"
