Thank you for this very informative and insightful article.
May I point out also that I believe in the final paragraph "reputation" should be "refutation." I do a lot of proofreading, so things like that jump out at me.
Great article. In the USA, those who would align their faith with a particular political party or politician to gain political power are actually endangering their faith. Those outside the faith see only a religion corrupted into striving for political favor instead of striving to become more like Jesus, and reject it.

Good catch, just updated piece. I'll blame jetlag ;)
