See Marian Budde, the Episcopalian badass who was vilified for telling TFG to have mercy. Church of England isn’t who we’re talking about here; we’re talking about cult members.
Yeah the evangelical shit just doesn't fly here particularly.
I think because we have a state church? I'm not sure. But we're an odd nation where links to fringe Christian groups is an electoral liability, not an asset, and usually something a candidate tries to hide and disavow.
I'd heard of the Jesus Army, but I'm definitely going to have to go down the rabbit hole on that one because it's *v* different to a lot of the ones I've seen (except for the sexual abuse that really is ubiquitous).
I’ll be right over. 😉 What folks overseas need to understand that is that the non-batshit Christian congregations are shrinking and have for decades, while the long-con “prosperity gospel” and fake evangelicals have thrived. (They’re finally seeing a slowing, which is hopeful.)
No one wants to come to TERF Island 😂 we have our own problems, believe me.
Well I hope folks en masse finally cotton on to the fact that the prosperity gospel, and any kind of quiverful denomination, is a pile of steaming horseshit.

We still have the abusive, shouty types but they don't get elected into office they just harass people in town centres, outside clinics, and at pride.
I don't think I could deal with the shit y'all get in the US, even in blue states.

But they end up imploding... Like this church my family belonged to at some point 💀 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Army#Controversy
I doubt scandals would do much to many in the states though... Just look at the leader.

But they haven't yet. Ugh.
