Frank Schaeffer - - Wikipedia

He is the son of the late theologian and author Francis Schaeffer. He became a Hollywood film director & author, writing several internationally acclaimed novels depicting life in a strict evangelical household...

While Schaeffer was a conservative, fundamentalist Christian in his youth, he has changed his views, becoming a liberal Democrat and a self-described Christian atheist.

Not so very long ago Frank was a very conservative Christian and citizen. His book, "Standing Alone" is epic in describing what's wrong with religion today and what's wrong with our government. For him to have made such a drastic turn around, being pro now about everything he was previous against, must have satanic influence. What a disappointment.

Another thing you don't understand........ "Grace.". Grace cannot advocate sin.

Schaffer now agrees with you, your party! If you read his book "Dancing Alone" even you would agree the change is too drastic.

It isn’t grace that makes a non believer. Look up Christian atheism. Its not Christian.

It is unique to call oneself a Christian Atheist. But, apparently..."In broad strokes, Christian Atheism is a spiritual approach using the teachings and example of Jesus while denying the existence of a literal God. As a result, Christian Atheism is entirely focused on earthly concerns and earthly justifications. Religion is [considered] a purely human endeavor, and God is simply a projection of a person’s mind."

"Christian atheism is a form of cultural Christianity and ethics system drawing its beliefs and practices from Jesus' life and teachings as recorded in the New Testament Gospels and other sources, whilst rejecting supernatural claims of Christianity."

As usual, there are always many factions, so the terminology is not defined the same for everyone - - one should assign the meaning that the person assigns to himself:

Using Schaeffer's own analysis of "group delusion" as the cause of ( what he considers )
The extreme white "core" of Trump followers,one can't help but apply that same "logic" to the current climate in the democratic party...the only difference being they have no leader. This makes them that much more delusional.
