"Instead of looking at the Christian right as a group of power-hungry zealots who believe that they know the right way to live, it makes more sense to see them as a group of anxious people, terrified that death may be simply "the end," and not the beginning of a heavenly afterlife. It is not to excuse their behavior—which is reprehensible—but it is to suggest that their behavior is driven by a primal fear. Namely, that no one escapes death. As long as they continue to believe that by controlling others’ behavior, they can guarantee that they themselves are going to live forever, we will continue to see their impact on the laws that govern all of us."
