Evidence Quote

as Christianity has weakened in American life, a really hard question has become like you know who who is the most dangerous of your different enemies...Is it you know a woke progressivism...Is it Donald Trump's populism with its heathen cruelties? Is it transhumanism? Like, is the the final boss of this era that religious believers will have to confront actually Silicon Valley?
