love your writing and am so happy to have found you and the evolving faith podcast. Just a random thought here. Many years ago I watched a documentary called Jesus Camp. It has stayed with me. Militant training and pageantry of little christian children. very disturbing...
I think her last paragraph about faith and the recognition that there are other people of faith who do not hold with the culturally white evangelical view is also a reason to hope.
when I left evangelical christianity, that didn’t exist... I found communion with atheists and agnostics and catholics and buddhists in order to find and nurture my faith. Today there are growing groups and movements and churches where that kind of view is antithetical to the doctrine preached and the grace lived.

I saw Jesus Camp too. it was disturbing and familiar. I pray that Love and kindness still pervaded the minds of those children as they matured.
