So the danger in religion is always that.
By increasing community for those who are part of your religion, you can be increasing the distance against those who aren't part of your religion.
Which is why, at heart, the true message of religion is not to make it us versus them.
It's to increase the moral circle of concern such that it includes everybody.

But more than that, if you're counting the number of times it says who to be good to, it says be good to the stranger.
Be good to the stranger in your land.
And so it's expanding that moral circle.
But my point is that people now say, oh, look at the Christian nationalists.
I would never want to be any part of that.
If you're a person on the left, it's all people who are conservative and looking to control people's lives.

So it's a good point.
I'm not sure which way it's going to go.
Yeah, I mean, there still are ongoing debates.
