This book isn’t only for Christians but for our brothers and sisters in other faith traditions, and with no faith at all. When we see a civic promotion of fear, hate and violence as the trajectory of our politics, we need a civic faith of love, healing, and hope to defeat it. And that must involve all of us—religious or not. Loving our neighbor, and learning to practice the politics of love, will be central to the future of democracy in America. That will be a civic discipleship.”
The False White Gospel, p. 15
