Well the media focuses on the bat-shit crazy racists because they’re frankly more interesting and draw more clicks than plain, middle of the road churchgoers. It’s the batshit crazies that tend to insist “No true Scotsman,” -style that they are the only true Christians. And frankly it is easy, and lazy thinking to think in terms of us vs them and assume that all Christians are racists. I find that I sometimes have to consciously think of some of the genuinely good people in my life and in the public sphere that are devout.
