The "shining city on a hill" is a latent theocracy masquerading as democracy. Religious bigotry will destroy civilisation.

"Christian Zionists have spent decades building a movement that runs from church pews to the highest echelons of American power, advocating for the United States to intervene militarily to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Christian Zionists see Iran as a central player in what they say is a biblical prophecy about Jesus’s return.

"The core tenet of this movement holds that a series of prophesied events, including Jews’ return to Israel and invasion by armies of foreign countries including Iran, will culminate in a bloody, victorious battle at Armageddon. It’s a dangerous mix of warmongering theology and politics."
