The sad politicization of Christianity

It's pretty crazy to be a young woman in Roy Moore's Alabama
The New York Times: Five or six college women and a few allies from across the political spectrum became united on one very important point: We would not settle for Roy Moore as the face of Southern Christianity.
Religion News Service: On election day, an Alabama Baptist church stands apart
