"Hardline US evangelical nationalists are the modern equivalent of what a memorable 1964 book by Diana Dewar, an expert on children’s religious education, called 'backward Christian soldiers'. As ever, the religious right, like the right in general, is marching furiously in the wrong direction."

~ Simon Tisdall
