Summary

This quote suggests that the real issue facing American religion is the minority of fundamentalists who conflate political policies with their religious beliefs. These individuals may try to portray certain political agendas as religious imperatives, which can create problems and internal conflicts within religious communities. By intertwining politics and religion, these fundamentalists potentially alienate others and distract from the core values and teachings of the faith, leading to divisive and polarizing outcomes. Overall, this explanation emphasizes the potential negative impact of politicizing religion within American society.
