I'm reading a book right now entitled The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism by Katherine Stewart.

Those words he's using in that fourth paragraph are almost verbatim from the handouts they are giving politicians they are enlisting into this effort. This particular person sounds like maybe he's been inculcated by Capitol Ministries.
