  Turns out "regular" american Christianity didn't need an excuse to push for Christofacist nationalism. It's attempting to take hold literally right now.

  > A friend with similar opinions worries that the Quiverfull movement will result in Christian nationalists taking over. I'm less worried about that, because I grew up in that subculture - my parents were early adopters, before the label had been coined - and the extreme religious belief doesn't really stick. So far as I am aware, none of the kids in my cohort have followed in our parents' footsteps. Many of us abandoned religion entirely, and those who kept with it have found more conventional expressions; none of us have gone on to raise enormous families of our own. It makes sense, when you consider why people are drawn to join extreme religious movements in the first place; of course the kids they raise are going to have a very different experience and perspective on life, and they're likely to go looking for what they need in a different direction.
