Progressives Are Still Having a Conniption Over House Speaker Mike Johnson's Christianity

[1LoverofGod]

Folks on the left are still whining and crying about newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Even though he took the position over two weeks ago, they are still in full meltdown mode, writing op-eds and filing reports designed to make him look like a religious fanatic seeking to install a Christian theocracy as our government a la “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Rolling Stone has now published a hit piece on Johnson in an effort to promote this narrative.

He’s also a dyed in the wool Christian conservative, and there’s a flag hanging outside his office that leads into a universe of right-wing religious extremism as unknown to most Americans as Johnson was before he ascended to the speakership.
Johnson slots firmly within the more hardline evangelical wing of the Republican coalition. He holds stringent positions on abortion, thinks homosexuality is a lifestyle choice that should not be recognized under legal protections against discrimination, defends young earth creationism, blames school shootings on the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and questions the framework of the separation of church and state. “The founders wanted to protect the church from an encroaching state, not the other way around,” he has said.
