So much of what I see going on in public policy today: Immigrant detention, ignoring the environment, racial injustice, voter suppression are policies championed by the most ardently religious among us.

It's things like this that make it very hard for me to contain my contempt for religion. I don't blame God -- I blame people. The vast majority of those supporting these inhumane policies are the most religious among and I want no part of this.

Forced migration, detention, internment. It was wrong when Hitler did it, it was wrong when Roosevelt did it, it was wrong when Jackson did it. No one can look to their better selves and see this as a conclusion.

If this is what your God tells you to do, you should find a new God.
