When did being a Christian equal being right wing?

45. It's a specific kind of Christian, fundamentalist/pentacostalist/evangelical

I've been with the Freedom From Religion Foundation since 1984.

I've read document after document, books, articles, etc. about it's more than spreading "The Good Word."

These RW Christians intend to do more than influence government policy and legislation. They want THEIR legislation where their beliefs ARE the law. Coercing others to follow their tenets with penalties and punishment for infractions, violations, and worse. Taking our tax dollars and giving it to their churches. Establishment Clause ("Congress shall make no law establishing a religion" ) be damned.

I also had an advantage that others didn't have. I attended Sweet Briar College, 15 miles away from Lynchburg, VA, home of Jerry Falwell and the Thomas Road Baptist Church in the late 1970s. The city and Sweet Briar knew all about Jerry and his dreams. It went from a small church to a small "Christian" church to a university to broadcasting all over the world. Jerry's religious corporation was buying up so much land in the city that property taxes went up for others as his properties were taken off the Books. And Jerry's church was ruthless in getting congregants. Example: Thomas Roads would send an empty school bus into a neighborhood on a Sunday morning where kids would be playing in the street. The driver would tell the kids there was a $10 bill in one of the seats. The bus would load up and drive away, leaving one kid behind to tell the otherwise sleeping parents that Jerry had taken their children to church. Even in 1978, residents knew that Jerry wanted more than Lynchburg for power and money; he wanted the World. And as far as "right wing", Jerry didn't use Christianity for "brotherly love". He hated "homosexuals" and African-Americans. He used his church and college to promote segregation in the Sixties.

As to the OP, not all Christianity represents the RW Christian Dominionist mindset. I've met many Christians who are Methodists, for example, who are closer to Humanists and Ethical Culturalists than the lemmings found in the megachurches.
