   FIRST ON FOX – Vice President Kamala Harris recently hired a director on   
   her campaign who has attacked swaths of White Christians and claimed that   
   America is an imperial "cult" and "bloodthirsty… beast."   
      
   Progressive Rev. Jennifer Butler was brought on to court people of faith   
   onto the Harris-Walz ticket. Butler has argued that White supremacists   
   have "hijacked" the Christian faith, and now runs a program seeking to   
   root out purported White nationalism from Christians.   
      
   "Today we face fundamental threats to democracy," the Presbyterian   
   minister said in her book "Who Stole My Bible?" in 2020. "The wealthy are   
   overwhelmingly White and those who are systemically economically   
   disadvantaged are people of color."   
   "The many-headed beasts reveal the corruption of the imperial system   
   around us. The imperial cult of the United States of America, whose stock   
   market booms while unemployment skyrockets, had numbed many of us to our   
   own reality," she wrote.

   She went on to claim that "these catastrophes are an apocalypse... a   
   revelation ... of the greedy, bloodthirsy imperial beast beneath the fine   
   linens."   
      
   Butler also took aim at both militarism and individualism.   
      
   Christians need to "'come out of the closet' and witness to the word of   
   justice in the face of a brutal empire asserting its control. They are to   
   resist the temptation to go with the temptation to go with the flow of the   
   imperial… military status quo."   
      
   She wrote, "Individualism is triumph over care for neighbors and freedom   
   over equality as communities of color are hardest hit."

   THE 'ULTIMATE GOAL'   
      
   Other portions of the book attack Christians for enmeshing with White   
   supremacy.   
      
   "A large percentage of White Christians is marching to the drumbeat of   
   White nationalism," she said. "Given all this, nothing could be more   
   important than reclaiming this radical book called the Bible and acting to   
   make its vision for radical justice, equality and liberation a reality."   
      
   Another portion claims that Christians are weaponizing their religious   
   freedom.   
      
   "Rather than using religious freedom as a shield, Christians are using it   
   as a sword," Butler wrote.   
      
   Kristen Waggoner, president of the Alliance Defending Freedom, told Fox   
   News Digital in an interview she believed Butler's book was filled with   
   bullying language.   
      
   "I don't think that there's a point to use bullying tactics and name-   
   calling to demean people because they don't share a particular belief.   
   What we know is that religious freedom is a fundamental human right," the   
   ADF president said. "We know that it should extend to all people, and it   
   provides benefits to all society, and that it protects the right of   
   dissent in terms of religious freedom."

   Waggoner went on to call Butler's comments equating Christians with White   
   supremacy divisive.   
      
   "The historic teaching of the church hasn't changed. And so to suggest   
   that in any way that is connected or linked, linked to something other   
   than it's contextually wrong and it's historically wrong. And it suggests   
   that Rev. Butler isn't about religious freedom or bringing together people   
   of faith, but instead dividing, polarizing, and using political ideology   
   to separate," she said.   
      
   Butler recently told the Religion News Service (RNS) that her agenda is to   
   bring "faith voices for justice" into the Harris-Walz orbit.   
      
   "The Harris-Walz campaign is a really unique opportunity to shift the   
   debate, to engage all of those who are concerned about what a Trump   
   presidency would mean, the work of this campaign and what it can do to   
   transform America," she said.   
      
   Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris-Walz campaign and Butler for   
   comment and did not immediately receive a response.
