Identity politics: bad religion, even worse politics

~subheadIndex-links

• What is “Identity Politics?” Why is it antithetical to both the Christian worldview and the fundamental principles of Western, Constitutional, republican ideals? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

• Why is this a theological, more than a political philosophy?

• Why does the pseudo-religious nature of this political philosophy make it bad, ineffective, even destructive religion and even worse politics?

• Why is a healthy view of what politics can and cannot do, the necessary start for a way forward?

•Why does this way forward properly expect more of the Church in community and less of the government in community?
