Aaron Renn has gained a following in conservative Christian intellectual circles by warning that America is in an era of distinct hostility to believers like them, and that they must gird themselves to adapt to, as the title of his recent book put it, “Life in the Negative World.”

Oh and btw, in the US, 'Christian intellectual circles' is an oxymoron.
That's not the issue. The issue is when they attempt to control the actions of others based upon Christian traditional beliefs.
“He credits his recovery in part to the “manosphere,”…that he identified as a serious cultural phenomenon.”
Read the article: sociology, cultural/political flavors. No Scripture for how to behave as Christ.
1 Timothy 6:11, "But you, man of God…pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness"
Religion is like a penis. No one cares as long as they keep it in their pants. But when they forcing it out in the open on other people, then it becomes unacceptable.
The negative reaction comes from christianists demands to make the US a theocracy. That is spiritual rape.

America would gladly just ignore the likes of you and let you carry on believing whatever you like. But your insistence that the rest of us must believe as you do else YOU won’t go to heaven is the entire fucking problem here.
You’re the oppressor, not the victim.
It helps nonbelievers understand the genuine contributions religion has historically made, while openly addressing and improving upon religion’s limitations.
Because they try to force their religion on everyone!!
Maybe feeling fear deep down because they have betrayed the teachings of Jesus and are hateful.
The scorn you feel is deserved.
“Life on a planet that has been here 4.5 billion years, and the blatantly obvious corresponding take aways.”
A novel for children.
The federal government is trying to roll back gay/trans rights and black history.
Stop whining.
Is Faux Christianity worse than No Christianity?
If it was simply about good works, everything would be fine.
Our nation was not built on organized religion. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Je’s sayin’
Mine are:
Hate, Control, Hypocrisy
And they wonder why the world is hostile… they have completely abandoned the teachings of Christ
Reminder that the New York Times helped Cheney Bush lie the US into the Iraq war and later apologized for it, even though at that time they were still suppressing the news about the treasonous domestic warrantless mass spying program
Now... The disconnect is wider than canyons in the Grand Canyon.......
Christianity is by now a hate based "religion". White Supremacy and Fascism rolled into one.
He's in a country where he is absolutely free to practice his religion. No one stops him. No one closes churches. He does have a pathological persecution complex, and that seems to be kinda popular right now. Why? Nothing else to do?
It's part of their identity.
He worships an invisible god while he destroys a visible nature
Unaware the visible nature he is destroying is the invisible god he worships"
We all come from the same primordial soup!
Murdering and plundering thousands of innocent ppl every day. By association, you, dear citizen, are deeply implicated in these hideous crimes. Remove Trump Now ! Or forever be shamed.
Christians are become more hostile to society. Christians are becoming less Christian. They ignore the bible & glorify false gods like Trump or launch crusades against abortion when there is no mention of abortion in the bible.
Christians have becoming more evil!
Those Christians?
Or some actual Christians with compassion, respect, and love for all of God’s gifts on earth?
This is why we talk of the march of Christian nationalism, which is real and not weak.
A small group of rational people: No.
Christians: Waaaaa, we're being attacked and oppressed!!!
Color me not surprised. 🥱
Source: trust me, bro
The hostility is because believers like them sully Christianity by not following the teaching of Christ
