“If evangelicals don’t change, they pose an existential crisis to us all,” said U. of Pennsylvania professor Anthea Butler. “They are part and parcel of the reason why we cannot move forward, because they say they have religious beliefs.” “And because they are being selfish and because they don’t care, their racism, their sexism, their homophobia, their lack of belief in science, lack of belief and common sense may end up killing us all.”

During the panel, titled, “White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America,” Butler also claimed that “evangelicals are willing to die for whiteness.” “And it’s not just about health care or guns or anything else. They are willing to die to be white.” “When people say to you, ‘I don’t see color, I see what Jesus season you,’ that really actually means that they just see white.”

U. of Virginia professor Larycia Hawkins also chimed in, claiming that the lost cause of the Confederacy is alive and well among white evangelical Christians today. “I think that a strong and compelling argument can be made, that it’s not just a lost cause, a narrative that still animates white evangelical Christianity wherever it exists, whether it’s on the West Coast, in the south,” Hawkins said. “I lived in Chicago for 10 years and I came away telling my friends, upon reflection — the Midwest is Confederate. In fact, America is Confederate.” “So deeply does white evangelicalism WASP religion penetrate the ethos and mythos of the United States.”
