    Right, but then it’s not a particularly American hatred, it’s just the general religious division of humanity. You wouldn’t say “the ancient misogyny of Australia” because conservatives are trying to restrict access to healthcare. Misogyny is ancient, but it’s not unique to Australia.

    The modern religious and ethnic divisions and hatred specific to America are relatively new. They are based on relatively modern ethnic and religious identities. There were no ancient Southern Baptists threatening ancient transgender olympic athletes for using ancient public restrooms.
