Christianity basically consists of two components–ethics and metaphysics. What does this look like on a graph, and what does it mean for American politics?
The first quadrant includes people who genuinely believe in both Christian ethics and metaphysics. These are the true Christians; they used to be CDs and voted overwhelmingly for Republicans. Today, they don’t really have a home in either party; they reject both Trumpism and the secular elements of the Democratic Party. Most of them will vote for Biden.
The second quadrant contains people who accept the ethics, but not the metaphysics, of Christianity. They are mostly liberals; they believe in a strong, secular state with a healthy safety net. They will vote for Biden.
The third quadrant has people who accept Christian metaphysics, because they think Christianity supports a state controlled by white male Christians, but reject Christian ethics. They are great haters, and Trump voters.
The fourth quadrant consists of pure pagans. These people have little regard for humanity, but great regard for themselves. They think they have a right to remake society in their own image. Most of our tech bros, Bronze Age Pervert, and Trump fall into this quadrant.
