“Five days after a school full of kids in Iran was bombed, Christian pastors were in the Oval Office laying hands on Trump and a praying in Jesus name. Now we know this pattern: Empire loves religion, because religion can make violence sound righteous. It makes domination sound holy. It makes war sound just. Empire hides itself in religion so you believe it’s righteous, so you won’t question what it produces. It needs to call it God’s will so no one has to reckon with the cost. That’s why empires use the name of Jesus. not just to persuade the crowd, but to quiet the conscience.”
