A New York Times op-ed published Friday is casting blame on the evangelical movement for the Wuhan coronavirus plaguing the nation.
The piece, titled, “The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved By Evangelicals,” written by Katherine Stewart is filled with undue condescension and mockery of Christians that is becoming the norm among our mainstream media elites.

“Religious nationalism has brought to American politics the conviction that our political differences are a battle between absolute evil and absolute good,” Stewart wrote. “When you’re engaged in a struggle between the ‘party of life’ and ‘party of death,’ as some religious nationalists now frame our political divisions, you don’t need to worry about crafting careful policy based on expert opinion or analysis.”
That must explain why in a bid to disarm the law-abiding citizenry, Democrats and the corporate media propped up a 16-year-old shooting survivor with no policy expertise to rally against the Second Amendment. Or it could explain why in a bid to ban air travel and meat consumption, Democrats and the corporate media propped up a 16-year-old Swedish teenager on the autism spectrum. But yes, “religious nationalists” need not worry about expert opinion.
Stewart’s remarkable condemnation of Christians is littered with the type of ignorant mockery so common in the modern media landscape today, where increasingly secular elites point at prayer as supposed evidence of religious lunacy.
