Why 'people of faith are crucial' to protecting democracy: op-ed
In a recent op-ed published by Religion News Service, Protect Democracy policy advocate Chris Crawford argues that "most religious doctrines do not require an embrace of democracy. But in today's world, authoritarians are attempting to do the opposite — to recruit communities of faith to undermine d...

Why ‘people who want to dismantle our democracy and replace it with a far right authoritarian regime’ are vital for our democracy.
FTFY
Thanks
Ridiculous take on reality.
Anyone downvoting the OP here is being ridiculous. Faithfully posting the article's headline does not mean OP agrees with said headline.
Posting ridiculous “opinion pieces” is nothing more than spreading stupid propaganda. So yeah, OP deserves to be downvoted.
If you think you can do better, then I encourage you to post. All news is propaganda. Source: My journalism degree and career in news and public relations.
Read Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky & Edward Herman.
I’m so tired of fools like you pretending that they understand a single thing about reality.
Just please go troll somewhere else.
Explain reality to me.
I know better than to waste my time explaining things to brainwashed fools.
Walking Dunning Kruger Effect.
While I understand the urge to immediately use newly learned terms, this doesn’t apply here for multiple obvious reasons, the main one being that we’re talking about the entire reality.
I would go back to the dictionary and practice this term a little more, if I were you (although we both know you learned it from another idiot on social media who was using it incorrectly too as a lame attempt at a comeback).
So your reality is solely dependent on how others define words. Sounds like a Depersonalization-derealization disorder. Combined with Dunning-Kruger, you must be a lot of fun at parties 🎉 . 70% of Americans identify as Christian. That is a single fact of reality.
My source: just trust me, bro.
Ouch, I got a paper cut from how edgy you are. Please don’t trust me. Research it yourself. News is filtered from the state Department PR to news wires. Then disseminated to news organizations. I’ve seen Producers and Editors change headlines and copy to better fit a narrative and not get flak from corporate. Watch this and tell me I’m lying 🤥
Ah yes, all news comes from the state department. Every single bit. Did they send you your tinfoil hat too? You're an absolute conspiracy theorist trying to pass yourself off as anything knowledgeable.
Edit: prove yourself. Doxx yourself and show us your credentials. Otherwise you're just another dipshit trying to frame ALL news as propaganda.
I didn’t mean to imply that all news is from the state department. All government departments have Public Relations. For whom? The CIA. The State Dept.. This is how it works .
They cannot afford to have reporters and cameras at all places where important stories may break. Economics dictates that they concentrate their resources where significant news often occurs, where important rumors and leaks abound, and where regular press conferences are held. The White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department, in Washington, D.C., are central nodes of such news activity.
Newsworkers are predisposed to treat bureaucratic accounts as factual because news personnel participate in upholding a normative order of authorized knowers in the society. Reporters operate with the attitude that officials ought to know what it is their job to know…. In particular, a newsworker will recognize an official’s claim to knowledge not merely as a claim, but as a credible, competent piece of knowledge. This amounts to a moral division of labor: officials have and give the facts; reporters merely get them.
Maybe a trusted news source can explain it better than me.
Source: the crack pipe I just smoked!
Trusted news source is a random user on medium where literally anyone can post? Lol. Again, if you have credentials to back up your knowledge, show us.
