Holly Berkley Fletcher reflects on the monstrously expensive "Jesus ad" some US Christians mounted for the Super Bowl:

"In my experience and in my study of American religious history, white American Christians have long expended more energy convincing themselves they are good—and by extension, deserving of power—than they have actually striving to be good."

"What happens when 80% of believers infuse an authoritarian movement with religious obligation? And when their political participation is enough to saddle a secular nation with the results?

Jesus Ad Christianity wants to have Jesus and ignore him, too. It wants to hide rotten fruit in beautiful Gospel boxes."
