Thanks for this excellent piece! I live in Oklahoma, sometimes called the buckle of the Bible Belt, and every problem you describe screams out at us here. If only more people would read and understand your analysis.
Thank you for reading, and for sharing your experience. I hear similar stories from people across the region — it reinforces just how deeply these patterns shape everyday life. Voices like yours are what make this conversation possible.
I'm working on a piece that draws critical parallels between conservative Muslim societies and American fundamentalists. The starkest difference, I'd argue, is that American fundamentalists lack the heart. I hope you enjoy that too.
