Having been raised in a religious cult that I escaped when I was 18, totally unprepared for mainstream society, I’ll freely admit that it’s the religious right that sends cold chills down my spine. Most can’t relate to my fears because they grew up outside a closed religious society. Having a conservative Supreme Court that’s also very religious gives me a serious case of ongoing indigestion. Religion has always influenced our government. Why do you think it was so hard to get a divorce back in the day? We’re headed into tricky times.
