First appearance on FOX Vice President Kamala Harris recently hired as her campaign manager a man who has attacked many white Christians and claimed that America is an imperialist “cult” and a “bloodthirsty beast.”
Progressive pastor Jennifer Butler was tapped to recruit people of faith to the Harris-Waltz campaign because she claims white supremacists have “hijacked” the Christian faith and now runs a program aimed at eradicating so-called white supremacy from Christians.
“Today we face a fundamental threat to our democracy,” the Presbyterian pastor wrote in his 2020 book, Who Stole My Bible? “The wealthy are overwhelmingly white, and it is people of color who are systematically economically disadvantaged.”
“The many-headed beast exposes the corruption of the imperial system that surrounds us. The United States' imperial cult, with stock prices soaring while unemployment soars, has numbed many of us to reality,” she wrote.

She further argued that “these catastrophes are the apocalypse, the revelation of the greedy, bloodthirsty beast of empire that lurks beneath the fine linen.”
Butler targeted both militarism and individualism.
Christians “must 'come out of the closet' and bear witness to the word of justice in the face of a brutal empire that seeks to tighten its grip. They must resist the temptation to go with the flow of empire…maintaining the military status quo.”
“With communities of color hit hardest, individualism is triumphing over caring for our neighbors and freedom over equality,” she wrote.

Other parts of the book attack Christians for their involvement in white supremacy.
“A large proportion of white Christians march to the beat of white nationalism,” she said. “Given all of this, nothing could be more important than taking back this radical book called the Bible and acting to make its radical vision of justice, equality and liberation a reality.”
Another part argues that Christians are weaponizing religious freedom.
“Christians don't use religious freedom as a shield, they use it as a sword,” Butler writes.

Kristen Waggoner, president of the Alliance Defending Freedom, said in an interview with Fox News Digital that she believes Butler's book is full of bullying language.
“I don't think it makes sense to bully or name-call people because they don't share a certain faith. What we know is that religious freedom is a fundamental human right,” ADF president said. “We know that religious freedom should be available to everyone, that it benefits society as a whole, and that it protects the right to disagree when it comes to religious freedom.”

Waggoner also said Butler's comments equating Christianity with white supremacy were divisive.
“The historic teachings of the church have not changed, so to suggest that it is in any way connected or related to anything else is contextually and historically incorrect. And it suggests that Rev. Butler is not about religious freedom and uniting people of faith, but rather seeking to divide, polarize and use political ideology to separate,” she said.
